Overview

Discover the magic of the Lassithi Plateau, the legendary birthplace of Zeus. Located 850 metres above sea level and surrounded by traditional villages, this fertile plain offers stunning scenery and an authentic taste of rural Crete.

Enjoy a panoramic drive before visiting its main highlights. Explore the historic Cave of Zeus, where impressive rock formations and a mystical atmosphere bring ancient myths to life. Continue to the peaceful Vidiani Monastery, set at the foot of the mountains.

Next, visit the traditional village of Krasi, known for its natural springs and the oldest plane tree in Crete.

Your final stop is a scenic Olive Mill Farm, where you’ll learn about the production of olive oil, honey, and handmade olive products. You may also enjoy an optional meal made from local ingredients, surrounded by the aromas of the Cretan mountains and views towards the Aegean Sea.
