When booking this trip me and my partner was all up for it, the more we got closer to the Sunset safari 4x4 tour we were kind of putting it off as we were worried we wouldn't see the sunset etc. we still went on the trip and front getting picked up outside our hotel, the trip, the guide, views and the food was amazing and we were so happy we went on it. The tour guild gave us so much experience and history of the Island, we would love to go again and would recommend people do it.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy a Cretan sunset, but nothing quite beats a 4x4 safari into the White Mountains as day turns to night. You'll rumble down unchartered tracks to places few visitors go – stopping for plenty of photos along the way – and toast in the evening during dinner at a countryside restaurant.
With only six to eight guests per 4x4, this semi-private tour allows you to drink in hard-to-reach mountain views while enjoying the peace and quiet. You'll set off from Chania towards the White Mountains, taking routes and tracks that only a 4x4 can handle to find panoramic spots that are well off the radar.
You'll trundle through typical villages, too, and stop at Valsamiotis Dam to savour the sunset. Afterwards, you'll head to the village of Deres for a light dinner at one of the local restaurants. Then, you'll hop back into your 4x4 for the return journey to your accommodation.
