About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on a journey through the heart of Crete as we explore its central region, ascending to heights of 1150 meters across two plateaus. Starting with a thrilling ride through lush olive groves, we will first encounter the remnants of the Roman aqueduct in Lyttos. This brief stop offers a glimpse into ancient engineering marvels and the historical significance of the area.

Our next stop is the quaint village of Kastamonitsa, where we will pause to admire the narrow streets and traditional coffee shops. Here, you can delve into central Crete's architectural heritage and experience local life. As we continue our ascent, we will navigate dirt roads and pass by the historic monastery of Agia Anna, making our way to the Limnakaro Plateau. Amidst the stone refuges of local shepherds known as "mitata," you will be treated to breathtaking vistas and insights into rural life.

The adventure takes a mythical turn as we visit the Cave of Zeus, the legendary birthplace of the father of the gods. Following this, an authentic Cretan meal awaits at a local tavern, offering a true taste of the island. As we pass through Seli, you'll capture unforgettable moments before descending to the traditional village of Krasi. Here, amidst a 2000-year-old plane tree and an ancient natural spring, the essence of Crete's rich history and natural beauty unfolds. The journey concludes as we wind our way back to the hotel, your heart full of cherished memories from a day brimming with surprises and enchantment.
