Discover magical Greece on an all-inclusive, off-road experience with Kafri Drive!
5 days trip around Karpenisi – a beautiful town surrounded by scenic views.
For this adventure, we will be using the ultimate off-road vehicle – the Yamaha YXZ 1000 Side By Side Buggy. SBS vehicles offer unparalleled off-road capabilities while being comfortable enough to allow us to get to places that are never visited by any other tourist. It’s so easy to drive an SBS– even if you don’t have any off-road experience.
During the journey, we will cross rivers with crystal-clear waters, see waterfalls flowing from the mountains, climb picturesque ridges at altitudes of 2,000 meters and above, and visit local villages to eat and drink the local produce.
Together we will be exposed to a different kind of Greece – fascinating, exciting, authentic, and wild. A Greece of new scents, unfamiliar sights, warmth, and hospitality of its locals.
