This page collects the jeep and quad safaris that reach Crete’s mountain interior, the side most beach visitors never see. Expect dirt tracks, shepherd villages and a proper coating of dust; you’ll need a driving licence to handle a quad yourself. Most full-day trips include a taverna lunch in the hills.
Lose yourself in the thrill of adventure as you ride a quad bike through Maroulas - but what wonders lie beyond the dust?
