Where can I find adventure in Crete?

[dubai_suzie]

Hi fellow travelers! My two sons are super adventurous and love to do all of the crazy teenage stuff that they see on youtube. I am planning our trip to Crete and I want to book any activities beforehand. Any tips for beautiful Crete??

Greece is a bit more laid back in terms of booking activities like water sports and excursions. I would recommend booking a few days in advance, but anything before that would be too early for Greek businesses.

What kinds of activities do you want to do? Hiking something like the Samaria Gorge, while you can book an excursion, you don't necessarily need to. You just have to find a way to get to the trailhead, and then you need to find transportation from the ferry back to your car. You can book an excursion to the Gorge a few days in advance. That's what I did.

Water sports are my favorite way to get my adrenaline rush in! They're so fun, and usually available at most popular and larger Greek beaches.

You didn't hear it from me but bungee jumping from the Aradaina 138m tall iron bridge must be the thing to do for any adrenaline seeker in Chania, Crete. The surrounding scenery is amazing and there are so many things to do around: from hiking Imbros gorge to enjoying raki at little mountain settlements in Askyfou plateau, to hiring a boat in Sfakia the nearby pebbled beaches and finishing your dinner with fresh fish at a seafront taverna in Loutro.
