Asterousia Mountain & Villages Jeep Safari

We will begin our adventure at 8 am with a pickup from your accommodations in Malia. Board a jeep as we set off towards the southern region of Crete, where stunning mountains, quaint villages, and idyllic beaches await your exploration.

Our first stop will be the historic village of Agios Myronas, an excellent opportunity to immerse ourselves in the island's rich heritage. Here, you'll uncover tales and myths surrounding the healing waters of Agios Myronas.

The journey continues to the charming hamlet of Prinias, where we will visit the Rakokazano to gain insight into the rak? production process, a staple local spirit. No visit is complete without a tasting, so we will enjoy the rak? paired with delightful homemade sweets.

Next, we will venture to the impressive foothills of Asterousia Mountain. Ascending to an elevation of 800 meters (2625 ft), you will be rewarded with stunning views of Crete's natural beauty—an unforgettable sight.

As we navigate the dramatic gorges of Asterousia, we will arrive at the enchanting Trypitis Beach. Here, while taking in the southern coastline, we will enjoy a satisfying meal featuring a main course, salad, and dessert.

No visit to Trypitis is complete without a refreshing swim. Feel free to enjoy the crystal-clear waters before we resume our safari.

Our final stop will be the village of Agios Thomas, where we will explore Roman tombs and Byzantine churches. By approximately 4 pm, we will return to your hotel in Malia.
