Hiking - Hidden Crete
Crete Greece

Discover the mountain plateaus and the history of East Crete.
Once the home of Europe s earliest civilization - Minoan civilization, the island of Crete is the land of legends - Zeus, Minotaur, Daidalos and Ikaros, Zorba and the land of the most spectacular scenery in Europe.
Steering clear of the main tourist areas, this 8-day trip explores the east area of Crete. Highlights include: the highest summit of Dikti mountain range, the largest plateau of Crete, Lassithi plateau - where Zeus was born and once the lilting rhythm of the 10000 windmills irrigated the fields - the timeless mountain plateaus of Limnakaros, Katharo, Niato, Byzantine frescoes, coastal walk, "the island of tears", the Venetian island and massive fortress of Spinalonga.
Starting from Heraklion we will depart for Lassithi plateau to reach the Minoan settlement at the summit of Karfi and continue to pay homage to Zeus birthplace before climb the highest summit of Dikti (2148m) accompanied by a pair of eagles. Crossing Katharo plateau we will descend to Kritsa village with its beautiful gorge and the triple-aisled church of Panagia Kera with the most outstanding Byzantine frescoes of Crete, to continue to the Dorian city of Lato founded in 700 BC.
Follow the coastal path around Aforesmenos cape passing the abandoned lighthouse and Agios Ioannis chapel with its spectacular views to the bays of Elounda and Spinalonga Island before embark to a fishing boat to explore "the island of tears" -the Venetian massive fortress and later a leper colony-
Relax in the small fishing village of Mochlos and enjoy the swim in the crystal waters of Cretan Sea.
