• Kera Kardiotissa Monastery - Our first stop on the scenic route towards central Crete is the Monastery of “Kera Kardiotissa”. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary; it is run by nuns and is locally known as Little Lourdes, with people making pilgrimages to pray for relief from their sins.
• Dikteon Cave - 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. 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.
• Lasithi Prefecture - While crossing the villages of the Plateau, we pay a short visit to 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.
• The Palace of Knossos - Last but not least we will visit the most famous and popular of all the attractions in Crete, the Palace of Knossos. Join your expert guide on a journey back 5000 years into myths and legends and learn the secrets of the oldest civilization in Europe, the Minoan. Enjoy a guided tour of the historical site that covers an area of 22.000m2 on 5 floors with 1.300 rooms, and hear all about the legendary labyrinth and the Minotaur (the half-human monster). This day brings history and legend back to life and is a must-see on any visit to Crete.
