Trade Rethymno’s streets for mountain tracks on a four-hour quad safari through Maroulas, Prassies, riverbeds, and dusty back roads. You’ll share an automatic quad unless you book separately, stop at Café Gidospito by Lake Potami, and ride with multilingual guides such as Nikolas and Jorgos.

“The quad bike safari was fantastic. From start to finish we couldn’t fault the experience. We were collected from our hotel and taken to the centre. The main activity was great. The guide was fantastic (believe he was called Nikolai) and he went through all the safety features and chatted about all the places when we stopped. After the activity had finished, we were dropped back off at the hotel. The value for money was spot on! Would 100% recommend this for activity if you’re looking for something different to do while staying in Crete.”
