Description

If you want a fast and exciting adventure, choose the Buggy Highlights tour! In just 3 hours, you explore the beautiful mountains of Crete and feel the power of our new automatic buggies. We start at our base with a short briefing. We show you the buggy and explain how to drive it. Then we begin with a very easy route. This first part helps you practice and feel comfortable before we move to the dirt tracks. When you feel ready, we drive to the impressive Aposelemis Dam. There, you can take amazing photos. After this warm-up, we continue into the mountains and enjoy stunning natural scenery. We stop at the highlight of the tour: the Panorama Stop. This special location offers the best views of the coast and perfect photo opportunities. Next, we take a refreshing break. We stop at natural mountain springs, where you can enjoy cool, fresh water in a green and peaceful setting. After that, we continue to a hidden Byzantine church. This quiet and historic place sits surrounded by nature. Then we visit an ancient Venetian watermill from the 13th century. On the way back, the fun continues. We drive through a magnificent canyon and experience the raw beauty of the Cretan landscape one last time. Finally, we return to our base with big smiles and a layer of dust—the true sign of a Buggy Master! Important: This tour is conducted in English only. For safety reasons and to ensure all participants can fully understand the guide's instructions, all drivers and passengers must have a good understanding of spoken English. If you purchase a single ticket then another person can join you. Single ticket for one person does not mean that you will drive the buggy alone. You will share it with another person.
