Next stop is at the old village of Krasi where we go for a walk around the village then we are off to Lasithii plateau where we learn about the old wind mills that were used in the past to water the plants .
Now it’s time to go and {meet Zeus } at his cave , well actually we can’t promise that because last time we visited his birthplace he wasn’t there ( had a day off ) …….. so no promises.
Then we drive around Lasithii Plateau through old villages to end up into a family restaurant to enjoy some Cretan traditional food ….and some local house wine….well let’s be local just for a day or two….. maybe you like it .
After enjoying our lunch and wine it’s time to hit the road to go back to your hotel where we picked you .
