Experience Details

This experience goes beyond a typical jeep safari by combining high-altitude exploration with a journey through Crete’s mountain landscapes and local culture.


Rather than focusing on a single viewpoint, this private tour takes you into the White Mountains, reaching the Kallergi Refuge and offering views toward the Samaria Gorge. The route across the Omalos Plateau reveals a quieter, more authentic side of Crete, where mountain landscapes, local traditions, and open horizons create a sense of scale and freedom.


The journey then transitions from rugged alpine terrain to the lush environment of the Botanical Park & Gardens of Crete, where you walk among cultivated landscapes before enjoying a farm-to-table Cretan lunch experience prepared with ingredients grown on site.


With private transport, flexible pacing, and a carefully designed route, this tour offers a more immersive and refined way to experience Crete’s White Mountains—far from typical group safaris.

What You’ll Experience

1

White Mountains (Lefka Ori)

Begin your journey into the heart of the White Mountains, where rugged landscapes and high-altitude views reveal a different side of Crete. At the Kallergi Refuge (1,680 m), take in panoramic vistas stretching across the mountains and toward the southern coast. The fresh alpine air and dramatic scenery make this one of the island’s most breathtaking viewpoints.
3 hoursAdmission Ticket Free

Samaria Gorge National Park (Pass By)

Continue along the mountain route to a scenic viewpoint overlooking the legendary Samaria Gorge. From here, you’ll witness the scale and raw beauty of Crete’s most famous gorge, with steep cliffs and vast landscapes unfolding below—an unforgettable perspective without the full hike.
2

Omalos

Drive across the open landscapes of the Omalos Plateau, a high mountain plain surrounded by the peaks of the Lefka Ori. This quiet and expansive setting offers a glimpse into traditional mountain life, where shepherding, local agriculture, and seasonal rhythms still shape the region.

Botanical Park & Gardens of Crete

Descend from the mountains to the Botanical Park & Gardens of Crete, a unique ecological park filled with Mediterranean and exotic plants. Walk through landscaped paths surrounded by herbs, fruit trees, and vibrant vegetation before enjoying a traditional farm-to-table Cretan lunch experience. The meal is prepared using fresh ingredients grown directly in the garden, offering an authentic connection between nature and local cuisine.
