Embark on a captivating journey through Crete, a land brimming with history, natural beauty, and cultural treasures. Our tour commences at Knossos Palace, the heart of the ancient Minoan Civilization during the Bronze Age. Immerse yourself in the legacy of King Minos, exploring the oldest city in Europe and the cradle of Western Civilization.
Departing from Knossos, our scenic coastal route leads eastward to a traditional olive oil factory. Delight in the process of cultivating the ‘liquid gold’ – olive oil, discovering its rich history, beneficial properties, and savoring its exceptional flavor.
As we traverse mountains adorned with olive trees, immerse yourself in the lush flora and fauna. Visit the village of Krasi to capture unforgettable moments by one of the world’s oldest plane trees. Indulge in a taste of tradition as you sip on “raki” next to natural springs, creating memories to last a lifetime.
En route to the Lasithi Plateau, pass through the historic Kera Kardiotissa Monastery in Northern Diktis, adding a touch of cultural richness to your adventure. Arrive at the vast Plateau of Lasithi, once home to the world’s first and most extensive wind farm. Although only a few windmills operate today, the fertile plain surrounded by the imposing Dikti Mountains provides a stunning backdrop.
Explore the mythological Diktaean Cave, the supposed birthplace of Zeus, located above Psychro village in Lassithi Plateau. Take in the breathtaking views of the plateau and enjoy a stop at a traditional local taverna, where you’ll savor authentic Cretan cuisine made with local products.
Conclude your journey in the traditional village of Mochos, where village cafes beckon you to mingle with locals and immerse yourself in the spirit of Crete. As the tour concludes, you’ll be driven back to your location, brimming with cherished memories, and a beaming smile, marking the end of an unforgettable Cretan adventure.
