MOUNTAIN BIKE
You can hire mountain bikes for training, exploration or for a visit to the Byzantine churches around the area. Or you can use the Bikes that we offer at the property for free.
HORSE RIDING
You can take horse riding lessons in an organized area (for beginners) or to ride over the hills of Lagada accompanied by a guide. You can also take natural horsemanship courses (rider-horse interaction).
GOLF
The Crete Golf Club, the most challenging golf course in Greece, has opened. Its 18 holes cover 720 hectares on a mountainous terrain just south of Hersonissos. The course, created in a desert style design, is a Par 71 championship layout and is 6700 yards long. Four sets of tee positions on each hole make it a worthwhile experience for golfers of all levels. The double sided driving range features covered bays and the state of the art pitching and putting greens provide the pupils at The Crete Golf Academy with a perfect learning environment.
PARAGLIDING
Avdou is the most organized area for paragliding in Crete. It has a 6-hectare area for taking-off and a 2-hectare area for landing (One is in the North and the other is in the North-west). You can hire a trainer for a double-flight (for beginners) or hire a parachute with its accessories and also be transferred to the takeoff area (for trained pilots).
TREKKING
You have the opportunity to take a walk in recorded old horse riding paths or at the E4, alone or with a guide. You can even take part in organised climbing teams at the Psiloritis Mountain. There are also many beautiful walks around the area. Our Staff will help you.
