An unforgettable experience

Logan_D, Oct 2025

This was an amazing and unforgettable experience. Our guide reassured us and taught us how to use the quads quickly and easily though it was our first time. The actual journey itself was breathtaking. We first went to the cave of St. John the Hernit and learned a ton of history from the region. Journeying along the roads were not busy and allowed us freedom to ride. The sights were beautiful and our guide gave context to everything we saw. The beach at the sanctuary of Diktina was amazing and a wonderful stop to refresh. The way back to Kolymvari was so beautiful m. It reminded me of Highway 1 in California except more beautiful and on quads. We really got to go fast which was fun. This was an amazing experience. Don’t forget a coat if you get chilly and sunscreen!!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for this amazing and detailed review! We’re truly happy to hear that everything—from booking to the last stop—was smooth, enjoyable, and memorable for you. It’s great to know you felt safe and confident. That’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to offer—fun, informative, and relaxed! We love showing guests the lesser-known side of Crete, and it’s wonderful to hear that you appreciated the hidden spots, the off-road fun, and of course… the well-deserved ice cream at the beach 😄 Thanks again for your kind words and for trusting us with a day of your trip. We'd be happy to welcome you back anytime! Warm wishes, The Adventure Beyond Chania Team
