Quad Safari in Agia Pelagia, Heraklion, Crete
Starting from the Peninsula Hotel and Spa in Agia Pelagia, we give you a theoretical introduction and a short practical exercise, before taking the adventure in our hands and the blocks on the road. Lonely paths away from the main traffic and in the middle of the most beautiful nature take you on a beautiful steep path along the sea and later on to the heights of Achlada...
Here we enjoy a stunning view of the surrounding area, before continuing to the old and steeply abandoned ghost village of Achlada. Learn more about the background of the village, the ancient and traditional Cretan way of life and share a special personal moment with the three last and only inhabitants of this village. Enjoy a drive and a walk in this village that is not accessible by any other means.
We continue starting from the heights of Achlada, passing between the mountains in a magnificent natural environment to Fodele, a traditional Cretan village, also called the village of oranges and the birthplace of the famous painter "El Greco". Here you can explore the culture of Crete and admire the local handicrafts. Of course it is considered time for shopping or visiting the museum or its orthodox churches.
For those of you who like to relax there is the possibility to enjoy a freshly squeezed orange juice from local oranges in peace and quiet.
We return to the hotel at 13:00, so that you can take time to enjoy your lunch.
(Alternatively, you can dine at a local restaurant and sample Greek meze - a variety of Greek specialities served in small plates for you to try.)
