We will leave at 09.00 am after breakfast, to visit the center of Crete with a group of jeeps. We will drive off-road almost the whole day. We will have a coffee break around 10.30-11.00 am in an ancient Greek kafenion (Greek coffee house). After coffee, we will continue to explore Crete off-road. On this day you can expect a lot of adventure and culture and we will pass many beautiful Greek villages in the mountains. Around 13.00 pm we will have lunch in the lovely village of Kastraki. After lunch we will continue our tour through the mountains. In the afternoon we will return around 17.00 pm back to our starting point, where you can enjoy a drink and a refreshing dip in the pool. Nothing is nicer after a long jeep safari to come back for a drink and to wash off the dust.

Our jeep safari in Crete started with a small nice group of people: spontaneous, enjoying the mountains, seeing another part of Crete! Then another jeep came along and then yet another one.... Now these safaris have evolved into an integral part of a fun holiday in Crete. Every winter we create new tours. Many of our guests who have visited Zorbas repeatedly, like to do another tour every year. We're taking care of that! The most important part of the safari is to explore Crete with lots of greenery, villages, mountains, sea and culture. We also make a nice DVD of the experiences during the jeep safari.

We offer 8 different jeep safaris in Crete. Every summer we start a new tour of Crete, containing all elements of fun, adventure, culture and landscapes of Crete.

We do not give too much information about our routes on the Internet about our jeep safari. We want to keep our routes in Crete unique. A jeep safari in Crete is an adventure in itself.

After Episkopi we will drive straight through the middle of Crete, through the olive woods and over sandy roads. You can enjoy both sides of the Ida and Dikti mountains, which are far away from us.
