Itinerary
Step 1
Our first stop is at the historical monastery of Kera Kardiotissa, a monastery inhabited and run by nuns, which is
located in an idyllic landscape. Here you can admire the miraculous icon of Virgin Mary, plenty of frescoes and a variety
of other icons, dating back to the 14th century.
Step 2
Then we drive south and reach the Plateau of Lassithi, which may have been the crater of an ancient volcano. It numbers nearly ten thousand windmills. The Plateau is a wonderfully cool and fertile area where you will see small towns and a very warm welcome.
Step 3
After the lunch break in one of the local villages in Lassithi, we will visit the Dicti Cave where Zeus, the father of Greek Gods, was born.
Step 4
While crossing the villages of the Plateau, we pay a short visit at a traditional potter's factory, seeing an ancient ceramic art, which completes today more than 8.000 years of history. Leaving the Plateau we will see the views down to Pediada Plain which are truly magnificent.
