Description
We will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to our installations in Malia. After an informative briefing the adventure begins. We start driving on asphalt till we reach the first photo stop at a local olive oil mill.
We will be guided though the instalments, learn and taste while we have the chance to buy souvenirs. We continue climbing, heading for the unique Lassithi plateau. Next stop of the day at Agios Georgios village, you will have the chance to walk in the small alleys of this beautiful village and get some time for refreshment at the local cafe before our day continues. One hour after, our convoy starts heading North where an exciting off road begins. Soon after, a unique panoramic view off the plateau and the north coast of Crete reveals. We will stop for the second photo stop of the day to enjoy the breathtaking view, if we are lucky, we’ll see live the Cretan vulture that often is spotted in flocks in these mountains. From that point we descent via off road till we reach the foot of Lassithi Mountain and drive through various traditional villages on our way to Kastelli village. On the flowering terrace of a local tavern we will devour a delicious stone-oven cooked lunch. At noon, refreshed and ready our convoy continues driving via various small villages till we reach the unknown cave of St. Paraskevi (Skoteino cave). For 30’ we will explore this important Minoan site and get informed about its history through the years. From this point we return at our base for the end of the tour.
