Jeep Safari ( Min 20 persons- Max. 120 persons)
Although the tour is not the Camel Trophy, it gives you the sensation of a great adventure.
It is actually a combination of an active and leisure holiday. It is a tour with a difference, intended for people who enjoy unusual, exploratory trips in places that are exciting and often remote, and where getting OFF THE BEATEN TRACK is an essential ingredient.
Still there is no limitation in participating; people all ages and all nationalities can join the groups. A radio system that is installed in all vehicles with continues communication and together with the information given by our expert escorts, gives the sensation of a Group association generating a beautiful atmosphere to the participants from the very beginning till the end of the tour.
Our Escorts as well as the drivers are carefully selected for their experience and eagerness for this kind of tours and together with their knowledge of the island and its people; guarantee a successful, safe and pleasant trip, keeping all participants absolutely satisfied.
Six daily trips a total distance of 1300 km during the week tavern dinners, beach lunches, beautiful beaches, monasteries, wild nature and lots of other beauties of the Island are what the Grand Safari is offering you.

Despite the two-hour swimming stop and the lunch by the beach we leave with a taste of an unfulfilled dream. A visit to the monastery of Crissoskalitissa is a must and then an adventurous drive is following before our next RAKI (snap) stop at KAMPOS village.
