Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll take in the sunset from Valsamiotis Dam, one of the island's most scenic vantage points
  • The trip includes photo stops at Orange Tree Valley, White Mountains and more
  • A light dinner in a rustic cafe in the countryside village of Deres is included as standard
  • Each vehicle can hold a maximum of eight people, so the outing has a really laidback, intimate feel
  • Your guide is an expert local who knows the areas you'll visit and their communities well
What to expect

There are plenty of ways to enjoy a Cretan sunset, but nothing quite beats a 4x4 safari into the White Mountains as day turns to night. You'll rumble down unchartered tracks to places few visitors go – stopping for plenty of photos along the way – and toast in the evening during dinner at a countryside restaurant.

With only six to eight guests per 4x4, this semi-private tour allows you to drink in hard-to-reach mountain views while enjoying the peace and quiet. You'll set off from Chania towards the White Mountains, taking routes and tracks that only a 4x4 can handle to find panoramic spots that are well off the radar.

You'll trundle through typical villages, too, and stop at Valsamiotis Dam to savour the sunset. Afterwards, you'll head to the village of Deres for a light dinner at one of the local restaurants. Then, you'll hop back into your 4x4 for the return journey to your accommodation.

    When booking this trip me and my partner was all up for it, the more we got closer to the Sunset safari 4x4 tour we were kind of putting it off as we were worried we wouldn't see the sunset etc. we still went on the trip and front getting picked up outside our hotel, the trip, the guide, views and the food was amazing and we were so happy we went on it. The tour guild gave us so much experience and history of the Island, we would love to go again and would recommend people do it.

    A nice tour but the experience wasnt exciting. Good company. We wasnt impressed with the taverna as it was very mundane and flat. There needed o be greek music and even fairy lights to creste an atmosphere. Personally not good value for money However guide was personable and knowledable

    Its a lovely trip and our guide was great. However pick ups at the various hotels needs to be earlier as by September the sun is setting earlier and it was a real rush for our guide to be able to get us to the point to see the sunset in time. This made the trip feel very rushed and prevented us from having quality time viewing the points of interest during the drive up the mountains which was a shame.

    Deze was een 2 uur korter dan gepland. Werd hard gereden op wegen waar je geen overzicht had,bijna aanrijding hierdoor. Zonsondergang was mooi. Maar heb van de omgeving weinig gezien. Werd ook niet door de chauffeur geregeld dat er werd geruild met gene die in het achterste gedeelte van jeep zat

    Leuke trip, prachtige uitzichten en zonsondergang. Wel redelijk duur voor het bekijken van de zonsondergang en een hapje eten..

Crete day tour with monastery, winery visit and cooking class

A chance to delve into Crete's culture and eat like an islander. On this full day tour inland from Chania, you'll visit a winery in Alikambos, explore a historic monastery, and take part in a hands-on cheese-making class. Joanna, one of our expert local guides, says, "this tour is the ideal opportunity to taste Cretan olive oil and wine, and to try local food that you'll get to prepare during a cooking lesson."After making your way through the scenic foothills of the White Mountains, you'll reach your first port of call – award-winning Dourakis Winery, a family-run business with decades of experience in winemaking and olive oil production. Enjoy sampling its organic Cabernet Sauvignon wines and olive oil before setting off into the countryside.Next, you'll head to the Monastery of St George. Set among sun-soaked olive groves in the village of Karydi, this early 17th-century retreat was restored after many decades of abandonment, though parts of it still retain a ruined air. You'll be able to explore the grounds and discover the remains of the old olive oil press. What's more, your visit directly contributes to the monastery's upkeep. Your final stop is Kefalas village where you'll partake in a cooking lesson to learn how to prepare a traditional dish. Then it'll be time to roll up your sleeves and have a go yourself. Prepare a meal using a recipe you can recreate when you get back home, and if you're feeling creative, you can even try your hand at making Cretan cheese.
