This tour will take you high into the mountains of the Lassithi range (or Dikti range), offering an abundance of stunning panoramic views. Wait for the pick-up at your hotel, stop at a Cretan olive oil factory and start your climb up through several very picturesque traditional villages. You'll take a short break to shop or grab a coffee. Next, we go off-road and move on up through Kroustas Forest to a point approx 1000 meters above sea level. From up there, you can see both the Lybian Sea (south coast) and the Aegean Sea (north coast) plus view the stunning peaks of the snow-capped Mount Spathi (2,140 meters above sea level, second-highest on the island), whose north face is home of the Psychro Cave, the birthplace of the Greek god Zeus.
While you are in the mountains, your guide will take you to a traditional Greek taverna for a meze lunch with local wine. After lunch, move towards the south coast stopping at the entrance and walking into the Sarakina Gorge where you'll have the chance to take spectacular photographs. Afterward, head to the south coast to a delightful fishing village to explore, swim, and take advantage of the beautiful beach, so remember to bring a swimsuit.
