Beskrivelse

The starting point for this tour is Hersonissos. Then, head south towards the Lassithi plateau. The road soon leads to the dam of Aposelemi. There you can see the abandoned village of Sfendili, which, depending on the water level, is visible or not. Continue on the provincial road, among olive groves, to the picturesque village of Askoi and Kastamonitsa (the village of weavers). This is where the off-road driving begins. If lucky, you will see the imposing vultures flying! The road ends at the fertile plateau of Lassithi where there were once more than 1000 windmills. Next stop, the impressive Cave of Psychro (Dikteon Cave) at an altitude of 1025m. The cave is considered an archeological site and can be visited with an additional cost. A beautiful and short uphill path leads to it. If you do not want to walk, there are donkeys that take visitors to the cave for a fee. Right after the cave visit, taste the traditional Cretan cuisine in a local restaurant .

After lunch, go through the col, where the windmills that the locals used to grind their flour, are still standing. Then visit the monastery of Kera, one of the most important religious monuments in Crete. The monastery (due to its central location, between Heraklion and Lassithi Plateau) was used as a "shelter" for Cretan freedom fighters. On the way back you will make one last stop in the village of Mohos, for a drink of raki. The view from the road to the Cretan Sea, Mallia and Hersonissos, is the best end of the day!
