Through this unique route we will explore the most famous destinations of Eastern Crete, in one day.
Our day begins by ascending to the Lassithi Plateau and taking in the beautiful view of the North Cretan Sea. Our first stop will be at the picturesque village of Krasi, where we can admire the old plane tree estimated to be around 2,400 years old with a trunk circumference of 24 meters, as well as the ancient fountains that provide natural water all year round.
We then head to the Cave of Zeus (Diktaion Andron) where we can explore the many ancient parts of Greek mythology. In the traditional village of Psychro, we can enjoy some traditional Cretan flavors, such as the famous Cretan raki.
We then make our descent through an awe-inspiring route, eventually reaching the serene town of Agios Nikolaos, the cosmopolitan capital of the prefecture of Lasithi. Here we can take in the beauty of the lake and take a stroll through the enchanting city market. We can also enjoy a meal next to the sea before heading for our next destination, the majestic Elounda, known to be the most beautiful part of Crete.
Finally, we will end our day in the fishing village of Plaka, with a visit to Spinalonga, the UNESCO Heritage Site, located just 500 meters away. Here we can spend 45 minutes and take a dip in the crystal clear waters of the sea. We will then return to our hotel, with memories and photos that will last a lifetime.
