“Had an absolutely incredible time with ELA Quad Safari! Right from the beginning it was so enjoyable. Everything was very well organised and planned out. Very safe- two members of staff follow on motorbikes to ensure safety when crossing roads and off-roading around the edge of the mountains. Ghost village was brilliant and our guides gave us some great history of the village. Take you to some great spots for sunset photos. Finished off the tour with a stop off at a cafe to get some Greek Gyros! Then once we got back, we were offered a sweet and a shot of Raki. All the little touches made this tour…”

The whole experience was brilliant - we used the buggies and had the best time.

“This was one of the best tours I've ever had in all my travels. Alexandros was magnificent as tour guide, driver and teller of stories. He was prompt, professional and polite. He took us to an olive oil factory where he knew everyone, the small towns we visited were quaint and unique. He is a VERY skilled driver as well getting to the top of the island for an awesome sunset with music and photos. Then to top it off the dinner was magnificent, at this family-owned restaurant where the food was excellent, and the hosts were better! My wife and I could not have asked for a better excursion.”
