64 reviewed
The interior of Crete is emptier and wilder than the resorts, and a 4x4 is how you reach it. Here are the best jeep and Land Rover safaris: which climb to the Lasithi windmills, which cross the White Mountain villages, how long each runs, and whether lunch in a mountain taverna is part of the price.
