Zeus Cave, Lassithi Plateau, olijfoliefabriek, Kritza, aardewerk





Beschrijving
Ervaar het mythologische hart van Kreta tijdens ons volledige Land Rover avontuur naar de Zeus Cave en Lassithi Plateau. In tegenstelling tot drukke touringcartours met 40+ passagiers, bieden we plaats aan maximaal 6 gasten in Land Rover Discovery-voertuigen met airconditioning en naar voren gerichte lederen stoelen – geen krappe zijdelingse banken. Uw professionele Gids leidt u door traditionele bergdorpjes. Bezoek een lokale olijfoliefabriek voor proeverijen van premium extra vierge oliën en lokale producten. Verken de legendarische Zeus-grot (Dikteon Cave) waar de koning der goden werd geboren – daal af in indrukwekkende grotten met stalactieten, stalagmieten en ondergrondse meren. Ervaar het adembenemende Lassithi Plateau op 840m hoogte, ooit beroemd om duizenden windmolens. Wandel door authentieke dorpjes, ontmoet lokale ambachtslieden en zie de eeuwenoude 2.400 jaar oude plataan. Geniet van traditionele Kretenzische lunch in een taverna die door een familie wordt beheerd met lokale wijn. Stop bij een pottenbakkerij om te zien hoe ambachtslieden oude technieken demonstreren.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We passeren het dorp Agios Nikolaos met het bekende meer
Bezoek aan een familiefabriek voor olijven en olijfproducten, proeverij van verschillende kwaliteit en soorten olijfolie
We stoppen bij deze kerk. Omdat het niet 5-6 dagen per week geopend is, kunnen we niet garanderen dat je het van binnenuit kunt zien. Maar als het open is, zijn de fresco's uit de 17e eeuw adembenemend
Een wandeling naar het romantische, zeer oude dorp Kritza
Geniet tegelijkertijd van het fantastische uitzicht op zowel de Libische Zee als de Egeïsche Zee en klim naar de bergen naar het Plateau van Katharo
we passeren het hele plateau en je krijgt een goede indruk van het leven op deze grote hoogte
We brengen u naar de ingang van de Zeusgrot. Als je wilt, kun je de grot bezoeken. Het is indrukwekkend en mooi om te zien. Er is wat wandelen inbegrepen en trappen (op en af)
Kijk eens naar de prachtige windmolens van het plateau
Op de terugweg passeren we het toeristische dorpje Malia
Het oude Monastir van Selinary op de terugweg is een van de mooiste op het eiland. Als je wilt, kun je daar een kaarsje aansteken.
Een klein, heel oud stadje met een platenboom die immens en duizenden jaren oud is

I loved that you get to visit so many things in a day. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and welcoming.
Thank you so much for your review. we try to do our best
We did this tour with Costa, and it was simply beautiful. We learned a lot about the island, olive cultivation, and its history. Costa is a great guide. We can only recommend Crete Adventure, and we went on two more tours with them later on.
Perfekte Review haben wir von Ihnen ja auch bekommen, vielen Dank dafür und Ihre Buchungen natürlich auch
My new husband and I booked this jeep group to be wedding cars for us, for our wedding. Armin was very helpful with arrangements and all the drivers were very friendly and happy to be helping us on the day. Michael was my driver on the wedding day, he was lovely! All the Guests were thrilled to be riding around Elounda in jeeps with wedding ribbons, beeping horns and bumping up hills to arrive at the wedding venue. It was fabulous! Us and some friends also booked a tour a few days later, and by coincidence, Michael was our driver again! He was very happy to see us. During the tour to Zeus' Cave, he told us lots of information about olive oil making, native plants, Greek and Cretan traditions, history and mythology. We fed goats up the mountain, had coffee breaks in little villages and lunch at Taxiarhos Traditional Taverna - with Demetruis (Crazy raki drinking chef who loves meeting new people and returning guests alike!) On the way back to our resort, we also stopped at a traditional pottery "makers" (if thats the correct word) and another village with a very old monumental plane tree and 100+ year old aqueduct. It was a great tour, with a great driver :) WHEN we return to Crete (which we will do, very soon!) We will definately use this company again, and I hope we see Michael and Armin again too! <3 xxx
Thanks so much to be our guests. We really enjoyed it a lot to be part of your fantastic, amazing wedding. See you
Brilliant, funny and entertaining tour, lead by Michael. Each stop was just long enough to see everything; we weren’t rushed but we weren’t waiting around either so it was a great balance. Lunch was excellent, a real highlight of the tour.
Thanks for brilliant and fantastic review. by the way: I also like the food there sooo much....
Awesome day, fantastic guide in George couldn’t have done more, enjoyed the stories bud!
and your Super-Feedback at the end. Thanks so much for booking and the Rating.
The food for lunch made up for everything. Zeus cave was closed and we didn’t stop by another stop, even after a traveler asked why we were driving past the church. We unfortunately did not receive what we booked but what we did was great. We mostly just explored on our own and the driver took us places. The vendors were kind and made it all enjoyable. I am really entitled to a partial refund but I don’t feel like the hassle.
I think you was with another company. we stop at a pottery, at the mythology park, at the olive oil tasting, in Kritza for a walk plus many photoshops. we inform also all customers that the cave is still closed and if they want to do another tour are cancel.
I can’t recommend this tour group any higher. We booked at the last minute because we discovered that today was a holiday and everything was closed. Our expectations were low since we booked what was available and figured it was better than doing nothing today. Wow were we blown away with the experience!! First of all, our guide Panos recognized that the itinerary while fantastic was possibly something we had already seen. Therefore, he quickly called his boss and made a pivot to what we were going to do for the day. It was absolutely phenomenal. We saw the countryside, Little villages, an amazing taverna with the most fabulous food, and the coast of this beautiful island. We were able to take pictures and stop at interesting sites. We heard details about Crete and its history. I’m sure had we seen the planned itinerary it would also have been spectacular, but we had traveled much of those roads already so we were very happy to be flexible. I think that above all else is what I appreciate - the experience that Panos had enabled him to understand what we would enjoy doing and then pivot/slightly customize the tour. The food we ate was also to die for. Such a great day!!!
Thanks so much for detailed and good review
Excellent food and service from waiter Isaac was perfect, attentive and very helpful. The space very nice, welcoming and very fast Service. Super recommended.
