    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.
