“If you want to experience the beauty of Crete, there is no better way than to take this Quad ride through the mountains, the beach and many other fantastic stops along the way. I'm 62 years old and never did a quad or ATV ride before and this excursion did not disappoint. I felt safe every step of the way. This is a family run business and the Fournaris family was super fun to have our adventure with! We came in as customers and left as family! The stop for lunch at a Greek taverna was delicious and fun. The Fournaris family were the perfect hosts picking us up at…”

“An amazing day with lots of different activities and a real taste of traditional local Greek life. The farm was great and we all enjoyed milking the goat, trying our hand at grinding grains and trying a “local Greek breakfast”. All the photo stops were breathtaking and we saw lots of vultures at the highest points. The coffee stop at a local taverna was much enjoyed and lunch at a later taverna was incredible. We all enjoyed making our own clay pottery and exploring the workshop too. Yesser was fantastic and really knowledgeable and made the experience 10/10 for the children with the off road driving. Would 100% recommend.”

My family and I are completely in awe of what we’ve seen today. Our fantastic driver, guide and host (and singer!!) Dionysus has been incredible with his wealth of knowledge and family stories and cultural historical facts - he is just brilliant!! We can’t recommend this trip and guide enough.…”
