~ An unforgettable experience ideal for of folklore and history lovers. Be enchanted by the magnificent view that the Lasithi Plateau has to offer , Visit the breath-taking Zeus Cave and be speechless by the ancient art of pottery ~

Our first stop on the scenic route towards central Crete is the Monastery of "Kera Kardiotissa". It is dedicated to Virgin Mary and it is run by nuns and is locally known as Little Lourdes, with people making pilgrimages to pray for relief from their sins.

Then we drive south and reach the Plateau of Lassithi, which may have been the crater of an ancient volcano. It numbers nearly ten thousand windmills. The Plateau is a wonderfully cool and fertile area where you will see small towns and a very warm welcome.

After we will visit the Greek Mythology Park ( Entrance fee included) , where we will learn all about myths and civilization of ancient Greeks . While we will also have the opportunity to taste local wine and olive oil .

Optionally ** Instead ** of the visit to Greek Mythology Park , you can visit Dicti Cave where Zeus , the father of gods , was born ( Entrance fee not included ) . Pls note that the clients don’t have enough time to visit both !*

Then we will have lunch break at one of the local villages of Lasithi .

While crossing the villages of the Plateau, we pay a short visit at a traditional potter's factory, seeing an ancient ceramic art, which completes today more than 8.000 years of history. Leaving the Plateau we will see the views down to Pediada Plain which are truly magnificent.
