Safari al tramonto in 4x4 a Creta

Ci sono molti modi per godersi un tramonto cretese, ma non c'è niente di meglio di un safari in 4x4 sulle Montagne Bianche quando il giorno diventa notte. Percorrerete sentieri inesplorati in luoghi poco frequentati, fermandovi a scattare foto lungo il percorso, e brinderete alla sera con una degustazione di vini in un'azienda vinicola.
