What you can expect
Explore the beautiful Lasithi plateau, which is in the middle of the island and is surrounded by beautiful scenery and cute Cretan towns. Find out about the famous Dikteon Cave, which is where Zeus was born, and get lost in the world of old Greek myths and its interesting stories. Travel to the famous Palace of Knossos on an exciting adventure. There you can explore the ruins of the fascinating Minoan society and learn about its fascinating history. Explore the beauty of Crete with our expert guides, easy-to-use transport, and stunning locations. This trip you'll never forget is a must for all travellers.
We will begin our trip at the beautiful and historic convent of Kera Kardiotissa, which is run by nuns. See the stunning beauty of the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, as well as a stunning collection of paintings and other beautiful icons from the 1400s.
After that, we'll go to the stunning Lasithi Plateau, which is 850 metres above sea level and really stands out. The Dikti Mountains and their eighteen charming towns make you feel like you're back in a different time. Enjoy the beautiful windmills that are still standing and the complex system of Venetian ditches that drain the Plateau.
Our next stop will be the pretty town of Psychro. The Dicteon Cave is home to some of the most amazing stalactites and stalagmites. It is thought to be the supposed birthplace of Zeus. Psychro's workshop, which is famous for making beautiful ceramics by hand, will stay with you long after your visit.
Get ready to be enchanted by Tzermiado's untouched scenery, old architecture, and stunning natural settings. It is the capital of the towns on the hill. You can unwind and enjoy a tasty lunch at this local pub.
The palace of Knossos, which was the capital of the Minoan state and is thought to be the oldest society in Europe, is our last stop. You will have the chance to learn about interesting stories about King Minos, the Minotaur, the Labyrinth, and other things during your guided walk. There is a breathtaking view on the island of Crete that you simply must see!
