Jeep Safari on Tripiti route

About this tour

Explore the Tripiti Gorge by Land Rover safari with guide. Stunning views from Mount Juktas before heading to the beach with barbecue lunch and a swim in the crystal clear sea.

This is the perfect way to explore the central part of Crete from mountains to gorges to a beautiful beach. Our day starts as we make our way to Mount Juktas with breathtaking views of the blue infinity of the Aegean Sea. God Zeus knew what he was doing by choosing Mount Juktas as his final resting place.

From here we take the road through extensive vineyards where the Minoans built a wine press which is the oldest one in the world. In Charakas, a little mountain village where we join the locals for a coffee break in the traditional cafeneion.

Continuing  through dirt tracks, bumpy roads over the olive tree dotted hills to our next stop the top of Tripitis Gorge where you have a magnificent view over the Gorge with its different layers of rocks, Cretan wild herbs and the Libyan Sea.

Driving down heading to one of the most beautiful and pictures Gorges of Crete we stop to give you the possibility to walk thru the Gorge to the narrows place where you find the little church of Panagia which is built into the rocks.

Building up the appetite, we drive down to Tripiti’s beach where we have a BBQ Lunch next to the beach with unlimited wine and water.

Enjoy some free time for a refreshing swim in the Libyan Sea where you have crystal clear blue water and the temperature of the water is always higher than in the Aegean Sea.

Than we head back, towards the South Coast passing through some small traditional villages full of character and interest until we stop for some refreshment and to try our local drink, Raki.

This is a day full of many surprises and the excitement is second to none.
