What you can expect

  • This tour gives you the opportunity to explore the real side of Crete in a small group.

    We visit an olive oil factory to learn how olive oil is made now with modern machines and how it used to be made in the olden days and of course we taste different kinds of olive oil and honey.
    Next we will visit Mochos village where we walk through the old narrow streets and then enjoy a drink at the main square.
    Next stop is at the old village of Krasi where we go for a walk around the village to see the oldest plane tree in Crete which is estimated around 2,400 years old. Then we are off to Lasithi plateau where we learn about the old wind mills that were used in the past to pump the water up for irrigation and the old wind mills that were used for grinding to make flour.

    Then we drive around Lasithi Plateau through old villages where time seems to have stopped then we visit a family restaurant to enjoy some Cretan traditional food ….and some local house wine.
    After enjoying our lunch and wine ( or local beer) it’s time to hit the road and visit Knossos Palace and dive into the oldest civilization in Europe.
