What a fantastic and adventurous Jeep Trip on Crete with guide and driver Josef! This excursion to Saint Thomas, the Roman tombs, the impressive Agio Faragio Gorge, the beautiful monastery and the secluded bay was an unforgettable experience. The walk there and back in 38 degrees was quite hard and certainly not suitable for everyone. A reasonable condition is required. But the reward was great: a beautiful bay to cool off, breathtaking views and an impressive monastery in the middle of the rugged landscape. Along the way we enjoyed a delicious lunch and visited the charming village of Matala, where the beach and atmosphere take you back to the hippie days of the sixties. Josef completed the day with his knowledge, enthusiasm and excellent driving skills. Exhausting, physically challenging, but absolutely worth it for anyone who loves nature, culture and adventure! 🌞🏞️🚙🇬🇷
