Top Crete Hang Gliding in 2026

Explore the rugged and wild side of Crete on the off-road adventure tour. Travel comfortably in a Land Rover high up into the Dikti mountain range. By going on an organized tour, you won’t have to worry about getting lost in unmarked rural areas and an experienced driver drives with confidence on the mountain roads. When you’ve worked up an appetite, a delicious local Cretan lunch in a taverna is provided.

While on Crete, take time to explore the amazing underwater ecosystems of the Mediterranean with a visit to the shoreline CretΑquarium. Marvel at more than 2,000 sea creatures representing 200 different species like sting rays, jellyfish, sea turtles, and scorpionfish. Learn about the abundance of life found deep within the Cretan and Mediterranean sea beds, and support the aquarium's educational and wildlife rescue programs.

A chance to soar high above the breathtaking landscapes of Crete awaits with tandem paragliding. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned adventurers, this experience allows you to glide through the skies while enjoying stunning views of the island's natural beauty. With certified instructors guiding your flight, you can relax and focus on the thrill of flying. Feel the wind beneath you and create unforgettable memories as you explore Crete from a unique vantage point.

The Heraklion Archaeological Museum, located in the heart of Crete's capital city, is among the most visited museums in Greece. Secure your admission with this pre-booked ticket and discover the impressive collection of archeological treasures with a self-led audio guide. Explore the museum's world-class collection of Minoan artifacts found all over Crete.

Discover the rugged landscapes of Crete's northern coast on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV or quad bike) adventure with transfers from Rethymno hotels. Splash through streams, wind along ancient gorges, and look for island wildlife from behind the wheel of a personal solo or tandem quad that can access tucked-away mountain reaches. You’ll need to be at least 18 and have held a license for one year to drive the quad.

Creating each pot is a unique moment. The ability that clay gives you from a piece of amorphous matter to create objects that will make everyday life more beautiful give it invaluable value. The hours I go to the atelier are for me a source of energy and relaxation, and that’s what I’m looking for those who visit my atelier. The workshop is located 16 kilometres from Heraklion ( acces only with car ), in a unique location in the nature, with a spectacular view of Cretan mountains. The area around offers many opportunities for walking and visiting the nearby villages.
