Embarking on a journey through the Lasithi Plateau provides the perfect opportunity to immerse oneself in the truly breathtaking surroundings and way of life unique to this area. The plateau, nestled in the region of Crete, Greece, possesses extraordinary natural landscapes, quaint villages with their own customs, and is rich in ancient history.
The Diktaean Cave, famed as the legendary birthplace of the Greek God, Zeus, is one of the crowning attractions the Lasithi Plateau boasts. Nestled on the inclines of Mount Dikti, one can reach the cave via a challenging hiking trail. Once inside, awe-inspiring stalactites and stalagmites can be admired, as well as a charming little lake.
The plateau also takes pride in its distinctive windmills, from a time when they were the primary means for milling wheat and other cereals. Visitors can see these structures up close and gain insights into their historical value.
On the whole, a journey through the Lasithi plateau successfully combines aspects of history, culture, and natural beauty, making it an unmissable spot for visitors seeking to explore the best Crete has to offer.
