LASITHI –PLATEAU TRADITIONAL VILLAGES

Agios Nikolaos – Kritsa – Katharo Plateau – Krasi

WEDNESDAY / SATURDAY

Tour 6-7 hours

We depart from the cosmopolitan city of Agios Nikolaos and heading west to the traditional village of Kritsa, a historical village rich in legends, gorges, archaeological and religious monuments and sites.
We will have the chance to visit a standardization factory of olive oil, which offers a unique and immersive experience into the heart of Greek culinary traditions. A guided tour will take you through the entire process and you will taste different varieties of olives. The visit concludes to the shop, where you can purchase bottles of freshly made olive oil to take home with you.

We continue uphill through the protected holm oaks and the Cypress Forest of Minoas as we reach Katharo Plateau (altitude 1250m), a plateau famous for the Cretan dwarf hippopotamus fossils found in the area. The plateau features a magnificent landscape surrounded by numerous legends and stories that date back to the Ottoman era.

Our next destination is the impressive Lassithi Plateau (altitude 1150m), where is said, according to the myth, that Zeus was born. More than 10,000 traditional windmills operated in the area until some decades ago. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, the Plateau was actually one of the first wind farms in Europe.

Pottery has rich history dating back to the Minoan civilization and you will have the opportunity to make your own clay pot and take it with you.

As we descend, we make a brief stopover at the village of Krasi and take photos of the famous Cretan author Nikos Kazantzakis’ beloved plane. The plane tree’s perimeter is approximately 24 metres and it is estimated that it is 2400 years old. It is also said that each metre of its perimeter corresponds to 100 years of age.

        And if you don't have the internet - don't panic: just call your favourite camgirl! Most ladies love phone sex and are happy to tell you their <a href="https://" rel="nofollow ugc">live cams blonde</a>. Phone sex with cam girls is hotter because they are real.

        Safari to Lassithy plateau and Zeus cave

        Hei, I'm the French woman who made the trip today with the guide, Georges, a very nice and interesting guy, giving many useful information about nature, countryside and Cretan culture. I loved that trip and recommend it. It's really worthwhile ! Très beau circuit à travers les plateaux et petits villages traditionnels Kritsa et Krasi. Paysages sublimes et nature magnifique. Georges, passionné par la nature, est enthousiaste sur la faune et la flore. Très bon guide pour découvrir l'arrière pays. A recommander. Thanks a lot for the day, Georges. Efkaristo ! Domi
