Duration 30 minutes

Skotino Cave

Quad bike trip to the cave of Agia Paraskevi. The trip does not pass on public roads, the entire route is laid on dirt roads, olive orchards and off-road. On this trip, TEZ TOUR paid maximum attention to safety! The group moves in a column in a certain order, the drivers keep their distance and do not overtake each other. On the way we cross small ravines and hills, rocky hills and clayey stream beds. We pass through olive orchards and groves of wild carob trees. Moving through areas unexplored for standard tourism, we find ourselves further and further from civilization, and along the way we meet impenetrable thickets of Mediterranean shrubs and herbs. On the way to the cave, our ATV column moves along the upper edge of the Skotino canyon. Landscapes open up that are simply breathtaking. From a bird's eye view we see the bottom of the gorge, where we pass through thickets of green bushes and reeds on the way back.

Duration 90 minutes

Skotino Cave

During a stop near the cave, it is possible to ride "almost without limits" on a wide dirt road. Guests who have enough adrenaline while moving along the route can visit two small mountain churches built right above the entrance to the cave.

Skotino Cave

When the group is ready, the guide distributes headlamps and helmets, picks up a large lantern and we begin an exciting exploration of the underground world of the Skotino cave. We first talk about safety precautions and proceed to the descent to the bottom of the cave. The entrance is hidden in dense green vegetation, and there is not a single person around except us.

Duration 60 minutes
