• Knossos Archaeological Site - This excursion takes you to two of Greece’s most significant landmarks: the Knossos Palace and the Zeus Cave, Diktaion Andron. The tour begins with a visit to the Knossos Palace, the ceremonial and political hub of the Minoan Civilization during the Bronze Age. Here, you will explore the magnificent palace built for King Minos, considered the oldest city in Europe.
• Omalia Olive Press - Our journey into Cretan culture starts with an introduction to “liquid gold.” At the traditional, four-generation olive oil production factory, you will learn about the history of the olive, the harvesting methods from ancient times to the present, and have the chance to taste high-quality olive oil—an experience that will elevate your senses.
• Krasi - The next stop is the village of Krasi, home to the famous plane tree of Krasi, which is over 2000 years old. Here, you will have ample time to enjoy a coffee at one of the local tavernas and take unforgettable photos.
• Lassithi Plateau - The tour’s highlight is the Lassithi Plateau, the largest plateau in Crete. After the 1950s, it hosted the first, largest, and most beautiful wind farm in the world, with approximately 13,000 windmills. Today, only a few windmills remain operational on this fertile plain surrounded by the imposing Dikti Mountains.
• Dikteon Cave - The Zeus Cave will be closed for construction starting October 2, 2024.
• Mochos - The tour concludes in the traditional village of Mochos, where you can mingle with the locals in the village cafes and feel the spirit of Crete. At the end of this tour, you will be driven back to your location with wonderful memories and a big smile.
• Kera Kardiotissa Monastery - Explore a 14th-century Byzantine gem known for its beautiful frescoes and the legendary miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary.
