Description

Land Rover Safari Minoan Route to the Lassithi Plateau with professional driver and lunch

Your day starts from the moment your driver will pick you up from your hotel and will take you to your first stop at the Aposelimi dam.

Continuing the journey through paths and olive trees, you reach the ruins of the Roman aqueduct of Lyttos. Next stop is the quaint village of Kastamonitsa where you join the locals for Raki and Olive oil tasting. From here the real off-road adventure begins by climbing high into the mountains and following the ancient Minoan path that leads you to a local shepherd where you have the chance to feed the goats and try some of the home-made cheese. From here make our way to a magnificent view point where you can see the Minoan path and the first siting of the Lassithi Plateau. Making your way down onto the Lassithi Plateau the next stop is the Zeus’ Cave (where mythology says that Zeus, the father of all the gods was born). the cave has an entrance fee of 6,00 Euros, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended, if you want to visit.  Enjoy the incredible view over the plateau from here. Next you will cross the Plateau and stop for your delicious BBQ lunch with unlimited wine - vegetarian options are available, it would be good to state it during the booking. The last stop of the day is the village Krasi, famous for its 2000 - year old plane tree and a natural water spring, before heading down to the hotels after an incredible day.
