This tour offers a chance to experience the authentic side of Crete, either in a small group or on a private tour. Stroll through charming traditional villages and visit an olive oil factory to learn about the renowned “Cretan Golden Liquid” and sample a variety of olive oils. Then, follow the paths of the Gods, though Zeus will not be present.

As you drive through the ancient villages on the Lasithi plateau, it feels as if time has stood still. After exploring and searching for Zeus, relax with a glass of local wine in the fields, followed by an optional lunch at a family-run restaurant in the mountains, where you can savor genuine Cretan cuisine.
