Safety briefing & practice ride:
Complete a family-friendly lesson on a practice track before the tour.
Tip: Have kids wear closed-toe shoes and attend the short helmet fitting early.
Off-road valley trail:
Drive through green valleys and rugged hills on winding dirt paths.
Tip: Choose the morning session to avoid midday heat and bring sunscreen.
Ghost Village exploration:
Walk among the abandoned mountain settlement and hear its history.
Tip: Hold hands on uneven ground and carry hats for sun protection.
Fodele Village snack stop:
Pause at a café under olive trees for local treats and drinks.
Tip: Let kids try fresh orange juice and honey baklava for a sweet boost.

Wow...what can I say, what an amazing time with George and his Ela family from start to finish. Firstly making sure we understood the machines and had all the preparations for safety, then off we went on our safari in single file down dusty roads, through picturesque villages and even to a deserted town up in the hills..what a great morning we all had, so great we went back and had another go!! 😂...
