Crete is one of the most fascinating islands in Europe — not only because of its beaches, but because of its incredible variety: mountains, hidden villages, gorges, ancient history, and crystal-clear seas.
At Eye Travel Excursions, we have been organizing unforgettable trips across Crete for nearly 30 years. In this guide, we share the best excursions to help you choose the perfect experience during your holiday.
1. Jeep Safaris — The Ultimate Way to See Real Crete
A jeep safari is one of the most exciting and authentic ways to explore Crete. Instead of staying on the tourist roads, you travel off-road through mountain tracks, traditional villages, and landscapes that normal vehicles simply cannot reach.
This type of Jeep Safari is ideal for couples, families, or small groups who value flexibility, comfort, and direct contact with an experienced local guide.
