Almost all tourists going to Crete will be proposed "Safari" offers, which most of the time consist of a formated tour on some off-road paths, accompanied by other surrounding activities such as barbecue, swimming or "typical" cretan willage visit, etc.
Crete is indeed a great island for "soft" off road driving, as good weather and rocky soils guarantee that a good path will last long and will be usable by most vehicules.
There are so many rocky roads that some are even considered standard roads by navigation systems and Google maps.
So I thought it would be more fun to rent an all-terrain vehicle, find a good offroad trail and drive it a my pace, stopping to take pictures when I see fit. Driving alone is also a bit more "thrilling" (well, sort of).
Finding a good offroad itinerary wasn't an easy task however. I couldn't find any information about them on the internet, so I decided to find one myself with the help of Google Maps.
Here's what I the summary of what I found. If you have more info to share, please feel free to comment !
