Venturing further into the Lassithi Plateau, one can appreciate the enduring famous windmills, the canals, the Venetian irrigation systems of the plateau, and the small quaint villages that still retain a touch of a bygone era. The most well-known is the village of Psychro, where you can marvel at the ancestral craft of pottery-making by the surviving artisans, and you’ll get to explore an important religious site, the Dictean Cave, believed to be the birthplace of Zeus, the patriarch of the gods.
The next village you’ll encounter is Tzermiado, distinguished by its natural splendor, its awe-inspiring vistas and its traditional architecture. The subsequent destination is the Monastery of Kera Kardiotissa, named after a wondrous icon of the Virgin Mary.
Last but not least, you will visit the Palace of Knossos. Here, you will follow in the footsteps of Sir Arthur Evans, listen to the legend of the Labyrinth, while being astonished by the majesty of this Minoan masterpiece.
