Mega Drive Go Kart Chania

In Mournies, about two kilometres from Chania on the island of Crete, the Mega Drive Go Kart runs karts in the open air at the gates of the town. The venue puts forward one of the largest layouts and some of the fastest karts in Greece, on an outdoor track open to families and speed lovers alike. People come for a few heats, solo or in a group, in the mood of a sporting outing.

Open-air karting has the advantage of staying easy to get into: a helmet, a briefing, and off you go after your best lap, whether beginner or seasoned driver. The track opens by day and in the evening, from eleven in the morning to eleven at night, handy hours for driving after the beach once the heat has dropped. The width of the layout gives a real taste of racing and leaves room to attack.

Chania, the second city of Crete, is known for its old Venetian harbour, its lighthouse and its colourful lanes, with the White Mountains rising beyond two thousand metres as a backdrop. The region gives access to some of the loveliest beaches in Greece, such as Balos and Elafonissi. The Mega Drive adds a dose of motorsport, welcome to vary the fun between sea and mountain. Just two kilometres from the centre, the track is reached in a few minutes from Chania, which makes it an easy outing for holidaymakers of western Crete after a little speed between days on the beach or hiking in the gorges.
