What To Expect
This tour gives you the opportunity to see the real side of Crete in a small group. Explore the old traditional villages, visit an olive oil factory where we learn all about olive oil ( CRETAN GOLDEN LIQUID) and taste a few different ones of course. Next we walk through the paths of the Gods and explore the cave of Zeus where the king of all the Greek gods was born. HE IS NOT THERE THOUGH …, WELL YOU NEVER KNOW….
Driving through the old villages on the Lasithi plateau you feel that you are traveling back in time, like time stopped long ago.

After lunch it’s time to hit the road and get back .
