LASSITHI ONLY

Lasithi gives you
a different angle on Crete. The area got its name from the Plateau of Lasithi,
located in the mountains of Diktis at an altitude about 850. This is an almost
perfect level with a maximum length of 10 km and 5 km wide. It is full of vegetable
gardens and has about 10,000 windmills. It is the largest and highest plateau
of Greece!

Lasithi Plateau is
situated in the east part of Crete in the Diktis Mountains. Your first stop
will be at the small mountain village Mochos, where you can walk on picturesque
streets or just have a cup of traditional Greek coffee in a local kafenion
(cafeteria).

Second stop will
be in a village called Krasi, where at its center you will see a centuries old
oak tree, the biggest tree in the whole of Crete.

Third stop will be
at the Kera Kardiotissa monastery with its famous icon of the Holy Mother as
well as frescoes from the 13th and 14th century. After Kera, another main stop
follows at the Psychro village, where you will walk up to the famous Cave of
Zeus with a guide.

Another stop is going to be at the original folklore museum of Aghios
Georgios village. And your last visit will be at Eco Park, where you will see
the process of making the traditional Cretan alcoholic beverage – Raki. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat and
sunglasses.
