A journey through the birthplace of mythology…
Exploring the traditional life and mythological sites of Crete, like the Cave of Zeus, offers a characteristic route to uncovering the essence of this ancient land.

Starting our exploration in the traditional village of Potamies and our local shepherd's farm. Here, we'll participate in local activities such as goat milking, animal feeding, using the hand mill to make flour and many more. Finally, we'll indulge in tasting freshly made traditional products, such as the fresh cheese, the fresh olive oil with the local herb and of course Raki.

Our next destination takes us to the Aposelemis dam, Crete's largest water supply project. Here, the village of Sfendili lies submerged beneath the dam's waters, its remarkable old houses fading into the surface. Amidst this scene, a natural wetland thrives, home to a diverse array of bird species.


We continue uphill on dirt roads to the gorge of Embassa. Impressive mountains and wildlife nature with unique views. Opportunity to collect some local herbs.
We proceed to the Lassithi Plateau. Optional visit to the cave of Zeus or just a moment of relaxation with the panoramic view of the Plateau.

Time for delicious authentic food baked in the wood oven in one of the best traditional taverns. Our last stop in the picturesque village of Krasi. Its square is dominated by Fountains and the imposing
centuries-old plane trees up to 2000 years old and with the oldest plane tree in Crete.

Having enjoyed a route of beautiful images, we return to your hotel full of unforgettable experiences!
