Crete Jeep Safari
Escape the crowds and discover the wild, authentic heart of Crete on this adventurous private jeep safari with Bakadi Dreams. Away from the tourist resorts, you journey deep into the mountains of the island to experience a Crete that few visitors ever see – timeless villages, dramatic scenery and a hidden bay for a refreshing swim.
Into the Mountains of Crete
We pick you up from the ship at around 9:30 am and set off in small, capable jeeps for a journey of roughly 180 kilometres. Winding up into the mountains, you pass through lonely shepherd villages and enjoy the peace and stillness of a truly unspoilt landscape – something that is barely possible to find anywhere else in Europe today. Your friendly English-speaking driver shares stories of Cretan life and traditions along the way.
A Swim and a Taverna Lunch
The route leads down to a secluded bay on the south coast, where there is time for a relaxing swim in the crystal-clear water – so don’t forget your swimwear, a towel, sunglasses and sun cream. A hearty lunch with drinks is included at a remote traditional taverna in the south of Crete, where you can taste genuine local cooking far from the tourist trail.
This private Bakadi Dreams excursion runs at a comfortable pace, with a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time.
