Embark on a journey through Crete’s rich land, myth, and soul — a day that begins with flavor and ends in serenity. First stop: a family-run olive mill in Prassas, where you’ll learn the art of olive oil production, from tree to bottle. Walk among olive trees, tour the facilities, and savor different oils with fresh bread and traditional nibbles.

Next, delve into ancient mystery at Skotino Cave, a sacred Minoan site dedicated to Artemis. Step carefully into its cool, echoing chambers and discover how this cave served as a place of rituals and offerings. This is not just a cave — it’s a spiritual landmark.

The adventure continues upward to the Lasithi Plateau, a breathtaking alpine valley framed by mountains and dotted with windmills, stone villages, and grazing sheep. Enjoy scenic driving through traditional hamlets, spot ancient farming techniques still in use, and feel the calm rhythm of rural life.

Make a short stop at the Windmills of Lasithi, iconic symbols of Cretan ingenuity, for some fantastic photos and local tales about their role in the plateau’s irrigation system.

The final chapter of your tour unfolds in Krasi Village, famous for its ancient plane tree — one of the oldest in Europe — and its cool spring waters. Wander the cobbled paths, admire timeless architecture, and sit under the shade with a refreshment or a sweet spoon dessert. It’s a quiet farewell to a day woven with stories, tastes, and the living spirit of the island.
