This jeep safari tour (Lassithi Route) is the perfect way to explore the central part of Crete with two different plateaus, mythology and lots of information about Crete and the local life. First stop is a photographic opportunity on a mountain top where we have a panoramic view of both sides of the island, the Cretan Sea and the Libyan Sea. We continue our journey to the plateau of Katharo, passing through the biggest forest on the island, where roads are non-existent and the mountains reach a height of 1.500 metres. Somewhere in this wilderness, there will be a refreshment stop at a local kafenion. We then continue through the dirt tracks, goat valley and across rivers, this is where the journey really gets exiting. Our next stop gives you the opportunity to take photographs from a helicopter view of the Lassithi Plateau, from where we drop down to the plateau for a BBQ lunch with unlimited wine. After lunch we take you back in time on a visit to the Eco Village, where you can see local crafts being made, as done in old times. Our next stop is Zeus' cave, where mythology says that Zeus, the father of all gods was born. There is a 4,00 entrance fee and walking shoes are recommended. Then on to Lassithi plateau where time has virtually stood still. The local people are mainly farmers. You will also see many donkeys at work. We then make our way to Seli, where once again we have an opportunity to take photos of this unique scenery. As we continue driving, we reach the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year-old plane tree and also has a natural spring water source. Heading back we pass through the area of Selinari where you will see vultures, which are now an endangered species. This is a day full of many surprises. The excitement is second to none! You certainly won't forget your fun day out on our GREAT ADVENTURE.
