Are you an adventure enthusiast or a history buff?

Take this trip to find out and enjoy a breathtaking view.

Begin with a guided tour to the traditional olive mill and learn all about the process of olive oil production.

Continue with a 15 minute hike to Zeus cave, located in Psychro village in Lasithi plateau and merge into Greek mythology.

According to ancient Greeks, Rhea hid into this cave to give birth to Zeus because Cronus, his father, was murdering his children out of jealousy.

Take the chance to walk around 100 steps inside the cave that Rhea hid; discover the nature’s awesome formations over the years.

After your exploration, optionally make a stop to Kera village to find the ideal place to relax.

The orthodox Kera Kardiotissa monastery, is worth a visit. Admire the mesmerizing architecture in the stone-built Byzantine church.

Visit the museum of the church to learn more about the religious traditions through its educational exhibits.

Lastly, we are taking you to the picturesque and charming village of Krasi.

This traditional village is famous for its plane tree, and you will have the chance to see one of the oldest plane trees in Europe, estimated to be 2000 years old!

Enjoy the rejuvenating view of the stone springs gushing water straight from the Selena mountain.
