Escape to the wild beauty of Rodopou peninsula and swim in Anc. Diktynna’s “private’’ beach (Menies) on a private safari tour for up to 8 persons per vehicle.
Our day starts after we pick you up from your hotel or a point close to the indicated hotel if car access is not possible. We will follow the coastline heading west until Kolymbari port where our scenic route starts. As we pass through the villages of Afrata, Astratigos, Rodopou and heading towards Rodopou peninsula , we admire the panoramic view of Chania Bay from the one side and the White Mountains range from the other. After some great photo opportunities our off-road adventure starts through the wild beauty of Rodopou peninsula. The surrounding area is suitable for a day escape and nothing reminds one of being in Touristic Crete.
After one hour of off- road exploration we reach Anc. Diktynna’s “private’’ beach called Menies, a lovely secluded beach with pebbles and deep crystal blue waters. It is not affected by the usual winds blowing in the area and is ideal for isolation, far away from urban centres. Enough time will be provided for area exploration, swimming and enjoy your individual lunch packages. Refreshed from the crystal waters and the idyllic landscape we will follow the road back to through picturesque villages before reaching your hotel.
Our escort drivers with the help of the premium off road vehicles of Uncharted Escapes will offer you the most exciting day in Rodopou Peninsula, allowing you to take in the best panoramic views of Northwest Crete with opportunities to capture every moment, embrace the local hospitality and privacy.
A unique escape, an exciting adventure to swim in a secluded beach far away from mass tourism, enjoying the sights and professional but relaxed service!!!
