What to expect

We start with a theoretical introduction and a small driving practise, before we take the adventure in our hands and the quads on the road. Lonely tracks away from main traffic, in the midst of the most beautiful nature take you to a beautiful cliff path along the sea and later into the heights of Achlada. Here we enjoy a breathtaking view over the surrounding area, before we continue to the abruptly abandoned ghost village Achlada. Find out more about the history, the traditional Cretan way of life and share a special personal moment with the last and only inhabitants of this village. Enjoy a walk through this village which is not accessible by any other means. We continue, from the heights of Achlada, passing in between the mountains in breathtaking natural surroundings to Fodele, a traditional Cretan village, which is also called the village of the oranges and is the birthplace of the famous painter ‘El Greco’. Here you can explore Crete’s culture and marvel at its local handicrafts. Time for shopping or a visit of the museum or its orthodox churches is of course considered. For those of you who like it relaxed there is the possibility to enjoy a fresh orange juice.
