Our day is the perfect way to explore the central part of Crete with two different plateaus, mythology
and lots of information about Crete and the local life. We pass through the award winning village of
Kritsa, famous for its Olive Oil to our first stop for an amazing photographic opportunity on a mountain
top where we have a panoramic view of both sides of the island, the Cretan Sea and the Libyan Sea. We
continue our journey to the plateau of Katharo passing through the biggest forest on the island, where
the roads are non-existent and the mountains reach a height of 1.500 meters and there will be a
refreshment stop at a local kafenion somewhere in this wilderness!!
We then continue through the dirt tracks, goat valley and across rivers, this is where the journey really
gets exciting. Our next stop gives you the opportunity to take photographs from a helicopter view of the
Lassithi Plateau from where we drop down to the plateau for your lunch, with unlimited wine.
After lunch we take you back in time on a visit to the Eco Village where you can see local crafts being
made as they were in olden times. Then on to Lassithi plateau where time has virtually stood still.
The local people are mainly farmers. You will also see many donkeys at work. We then make our way to
Seli, where once again we have an opportunity to take photos of this unique scenery. As we continue
driving, we reach the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year-old plane tree and also has a
natural spring water source. Heading back we pass through the area of Selinari where you will see
vultures, which are now an endangered species. This is a day full of many surprises. The excitement is
second to none!!!You certainly won’t forget your fun day out on our GREAT ADVENTURE.
