From Kolymvari: The road to Ancient Diktyna with Quad Safari

Embark on an off-road adventure in Crete on a quad bike safari. Ride through the wild and breathtaking terrain of the Rodopou peninsula, navigate challenging dirt trails, and conquer scenic climbs that offer panoramic views of the Cretan coastline.

Meet your expert guides in the charming village of Kolymvari and receive a safety briefing. Get equipped with everything you need, including helmets and gloves, and be introduced to powerful and easy-to-handle 450cc automatic quad bikes.

As you leave the village behind, venture into the rugged terrain of the Rodopou peninsula, traversing a network of trails that wind through lush valleys, climb rocky slopes, and hug the stunning coastline. The views are simply incredible – from the azure waters of the Aegean Sea to the dramatic peaks of the mountains, every turn offers a postcard-perfect vista.

One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to the remaining ruins of ancient Diktyna. This remote site, nestled amidst the coastal scenery, was once a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Your guides will share fascinating insights into the history and mythology of this ancient place, bringing the past to life as you explore the remnants of this once-thriving civilization.

Imagine the rituals that took place here centuries ago, the prayers offered to the goddess, and the lives of the people who called this place home. After exploring the historical site, continue the journey to a secluded and pristine beach, often referred to as a "hidden gem." This is Menies beach, a true oasis of tranquility.
