About this experience
The Safari in the South shows a great diversity in nature, local culture and driving experience.
It is a beautiful ride through small Greek villages, olive fields, and riverbeds. During our safari we get into the mountains, forests, and vast valleys. We smell mountain herbs, eat some local foods and swim at a secluded beach.
Our tour starts on the moment we pick you up from the hotel, following the East Coast, passing Lindos towards Kiotari. All complete, we pass through the small Village of Asklipion, with its Castle. Following the river, we reach the village of Profilia, after which we stop for refreshments.
Continuing towards the highest mountain, Ataviros, we drive mountain roads with stunning views. Crossing the wine region we come to the second highest mountain, Akramitis, where we stop for Lunch.
The afternoon is a pleasant shadowed drive through the forest, views of the West Coast with plenty of small Islands, the panorama of Monolithos and swimming at a secluded beach.
