Lasithi Plateau, Zeus Cave, Olive Mill and many more Attractions
Description
What makes this tour unique is its ability to weave Crete's mythology, living culture, and natural beauty into a single, seamless journey. It begins not at a ruin, but with the essence of modern Cretan life—a tasting of "liquid gold" olive oil at a working mill. From there, the experience deepens as you ascend to the legendary Dikteon Cave, the mythical birthplace of Zeus, grounding ancient stories in a real, awe-inspiring setting. The itinerary is further distinguished by unexpectedly poignant stops, like the view of a sunken village beneath the Aposelemis Dam—a haunting blend of modern history and nature. Finally, the tour immerses you in the authentic heart of the island with a visit to the Lasithi Plateau, where you can see traditional crafts and enjoy free time for lunch in a genuine mountain village. It is this rich tapestry of tastes, myths, and highland traditions that transforms the day from a simple sightseeing trip into a true experience of Crete's soul.

One wonderful off the beaten path experience of Crete. We did 3 things Organic Olive Oil tour and Wine Tasting at Domaine Paterianakis followed by lunch in Archanes Alex was our driver. He was very attentive to our needs.. He does not know much history, but he makes up for that in kindness and humor. He was simply wonderful with my husband and his scooter. The organic olive oil tour was amazing. The lady that showed us how it all works was so informative and passionate about what she does....The tasting was divine. The scenery was amazing. I wish I could have brought more home!!!!!! The Winery was very scenic and the wines were good. Maria , our presenter was soft spoken but very kind. The lunch was simply DELICIOUS...the local food came out quickly and each dish was tastier than the last. We simply loved it. All in all ...a very good tour.
