The Jeepsafari in short

We will leave after everyone has been placed in their jeeps and listened to the instructions from the tourguide.

The first 45 minutes will be over good roads (Good GREEK roads!!).Through villages one even smaller than the other we will reach the Dikti mountains. Then....coffee in a beautiful setting.
By now everybody knows how to drive the cars, so......offroad into the mountains.After a bit of bouncing and bumping around in your seat and the first portion of real Cretan dust.......freezing water from the mountains to drink, refresh and.....to throw!!
After this experience we begin with the hardest part of the track, uphill to the Limnakaro plateau(1300 metres).

Time for lunch; the BBQ....a little bit of help and.... bon appetite.Satisfied with full bellys down to the lassithi plateau...the windmills, and again a lot of dust.
....end of the day you can take a refreshing dip in the sea, or just a nice cold drink.
We don't go into much detail about the jeepsafari, you have to experience it for yourself. If you still have questions after reading all of the pages, don't hesitate and send us an e-mail.
