Start your tour with pick up in an air-conditioned Land Rover from your accommodations (Hotel or Villas) and head into the Dikti Mountain Range. You'll pass through several traditional and very picturesque mountain villages.
There will be plenty of opportunities to stop for photos.
We will visit a olive oil factory, learn about the process of harvesting and have the opportunity to taste different olive products and olive oils also.
At the Lassithi Plateau, you might see eagles and vultures, as both nest around this area. Next, you’ll reach the base of Mount Spathi.
We will visit the Zeus Cave where mythology gets alive. If you like you check a nearby local pottery where you can try to form from fresh clay something beautiful, all by yourself, supervised by a local specialist. If your prefer you have the opportunity to learn about greek history and myths at the local Mythology park.
Next, enjoy a traditional Cretan meze lunch with local wine.
After lunch, you'll continue around the plateau and then descend taking in views of the north coast and the impressive Aposelemis Dam.
You will then visit a 2400-year-old plane tree, the oldest on the island, as well as the Selinari Monastery.
