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.
