What to do in Crete
PLATEAU
OF LASSITHI
Through the impressive scenery of the road that clamps from the coast
up to high Lassithi. A narrow road, with tight bends, weaving its way
between the hills onwards and upwards, brings you to a vast plain as far
as the eye can see, with windmills is the Plateau of Lassithi. Here is
where the history and legend go hand in hand once again and therefore
your guide will tell you about and give you a chance to visit the Dicteon
cave where Zeus was born.
SPINALONGA ISLAND
This excursion journeys along the north east coast and first visits the
village of Elounda. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, think of “who
pays the ferryman” – it was filmed here, a small but charming
fishing village. We take a boat trip from Elounda to the island of Spinalonga,
fortified by the Venetians, and used this century as a leper colony. Free
time for BBQ lunch and swimming at the island of Kolokytha.
Having returned to Elounda we travel down to Agios Nikolaos amd enroute
you have a wonderful view over the bay of Mirabello. Agios Nikolaos is
possibly the most chic spot in Crete.
SAMARIA GORGE
Samaria gorge is 18 km of breathtaking scenery in the longest gorge in
Europe, with imposing sheer rock faces and the pine filled atmosphere
of another world. We begin our descent early in the morning to avoid being
in the gorge when the sun is at it’s hottest. As you reach the bottom
you will be making the same exit as the British soldiers and the Greek
partisans made during their escape in the last war. Waiting for you at
the bottom will be the crystal-clear waters in Libya Sea and the small
village of Aghia Roumeli where after a good rest, we will board the boat
to Chora Sfakion for the return to hotel.
