Car routes Crete
Here you can find some of our carefully selected car routes. You will be able to discover the nicest places on Crete, if you have rented a car. With our car routes you can learn some nice things about Crete: flora and fauna, landscapes, cultural villages, old churches, monasteries, tavernas and restaurants, amazing beaches, snorkel locations, walking area’s, etc.

Maps and GPS
We have maps with directions which you can get from us. You can also take a GPS with you. We have those GPS preprogrammed with the routes we have to offer. The GPS is user friendly, so everyone can use it.

Car routes and puzzel tours
We offer different car routes over whole Crete. Every route is between 50 and 300 kilometer. In the summer we organise puzzel tours with those car routes. Using GPS and car routes the teams have to search for the questions and awnser them. In the afternoon we will have a lunch somewhere on a nice place.

Car routes with mountain bike or scooter
If you rent a mountain bike or a scooter its also possible to drive some of our carefully selected routes. Some of our routes are also ease to drive with a scooter or even with a mountain bike. Also with the scooter or the mountain bike you can drive the route with a GPS.

Quality you can taste: extra virgin olive oil from Crete

For the perfect Greek salad or to finish off a beautiful dish, you need the best base. Our Zorbas Island olive oil is a premium extra virgin olive oil with an acidity of 0.3%. Thanks to pressing at 28°C, the natural aromas and healthy polyphenols are optimally preserved. A superior olive oil that you can order online to take your dishes to the next level. Exclusively available from us!

Enjoying the terrace: the sunset at Zorbas Island

After a wonderful day on Crete, there is nothing better than unwinding with a cool drink and a view you will never forget. In May and June, we have beautiful sunsets at Zorbas Island. The sun finds its perfect path between the tip of Crete and Dia Island. While the sky treats you to a vibrant orange and purple spectacle, you can enjoy the real Greek life. Come and experience it for yourself!

We sail from Heraklion to Dia with a Bavaria C45, a 14 meter long sailing yacht. First we start the day with the sea breeze in our hair and lazing on the deck in the sun. But perhaps you prefer fishing on the boat, that is possible too.
