Experience the mythological heart of Crete on our full-day Land Rover adventure to Zeus Cave and Lassithi Plateau. Unlike crowded coach tours with 40+ passengers, we accommodate maximum 6 guests in air-conditioned Land Rover Discovery vehicles with forward-facing leather seats—no cramped sideways benches.

Your professional guide leads you through traditional mountain villages. Visit a local olive oil factory for tastings of premium extra virgin oils and local products. Explore the legendary Zeus Cave (Dikteon Cave) where the king of gods was born—descend into impressive caverns with stalactites, stalagmites, and underground lakes.

Experience the breathtaking Lassithi Plateau at 840m elevation, once famous for thousands of windmills. Walk through authentic villages, meeting local artisans and seeing the ancient 2,400-year-old plane tree. Enjoy traditional Cretan lunch at a family-owned taverna with local wine.

Stop at a pottery workshop to watch craftsmen demonstrate ancient techniques.

  • Wedding Cars & Zeus Cave Tour

    My new husband and I booked this jeep group to be wedding cars for us, for our wedding. Armin was very helpful with arrangements and all the drivers were very friendly and happy to be helping us on the day. Michael was my driver on the wedding day, he was lovely! All the Guests were thrilled to be riding around Elounda in jeeps with wedding ribbons, beeping horns and bumping up hills to arrive at the wedding venue. It was fabulous! Us and some friends also booked a tour a few days later, and by coincidence, Michael was our driver again! He was very happy to see us. During the tour to Zeus' Cave, he told us lots of information about olive oil making, native plants, Greek and Cretan traditions, history and mythology. We fed goats up the mountain, had coffee breaks in little villages and lunch at Taxiarhos Traditional Taverna - with Demetruis (Crazy raki drinking chef who loves meeting new people and returning guests alike!) On the way back to our resort, we also stopped at a traditional pottery "makers" (if thats the correct word) and another village with a very old monumental plane tree and 100+ year old aqueduct. It was a great tour, with a great driver :) WHEN we return to Crete (which we will do, very soon!) We will definately use this company again, and I hope we see Michael and Armin again too! <3 xxx

    Brilliant, funny and entertaining tour, lead by Michael. Each stop was just long enough to see everything; we weren’t rushed but we weren’t waiting around either so it was a great balance. Lunch was excellent, a real highlight of the tour.

  • What we actually completed was good.

    The food for lunch made up for everything. Zeus cave was closed and we didn’t stop by another stop, even after a traveler asked why we were driving past the church. We unfortunately did not receive what we booked but what we did was great. We mostly just explored on our own and the driver took us places. The vendors were kind and made it all enjoyable. I am really entitled to a partial refund but I don’t feel like the hassle.

  • Cretan Gem of a day

    I can’t recommend this tour group any higher. We booked at the last minute because we discovered that today was a holiday and everything was closed. Our expectations were low since we booked what was available and figured it was better than doing nothing today. Wow were we blown away with the experience!! First of all, our guide Panos recognized that the itinerary while fantastic was possibly something we had already seen. Therefore, he quickly called his boss and made a pivot to what we were going to do for the day. It was absolutely phenomenal. We saw the countryside, Little villages, an amazing taverna with the most fabulous food, and the coast of this beautiful island. We were able to take pictures and stop at interesting sites. We heard details about Crete and its history. I’m sure had we seen the planned itinerary it would also have been spectacular, but we had traveled much of those roads already so we were very happy to be flexible. I think that above all else is what I appreciate - the experience that Panos had enabled him to understand what we would enjoy doing and then pivot/slightly customize the tour. The food we ate was also to die for. Such a great day!!!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The drive into the mountains was spectacular, with amazing scenery. It was great to see the small farms and villages, so different to the tourist areas. Our driver was excellent, very thoughtful of our comfort on the bendy roads and he was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the countryside. He was also friendly and answered lots of questions. We would definitely recommend this trip.

  • Feeding the goats!

    This was a wonderful trip to the authentic heart of Crete. The guide was incredible and extremely knowledgeable. Kritsa is a quaint little village full of cloth wear and beautiful dish wear. We loved feeding the goats, tasting the olives and olive oil and meeting the people along the way! Well worth the money to see the beautiful landscape of Crete!
