Overview

Uncover Crete’s rich heritage and hidden beauty on this private, customisable full-day tour. Travel through the stunning Lassithi Plateau with a local guide, blending history, mythology, and authentic culture in one unforgettable journey.

Begin with panoramic views at Aposelemis Dam, then visit the peaceful Vidiani Monastery, nestled in the mountains. Pause under a 2,400-year-old tree in the village of Krassi, and see the island’s iconic windmills up close.

Enjoy a guided tasting at a family-owned olive press, where you’ll sample fresh olive oil, raki, and local flavours. Although the Cave of Zeus is temporarily closed, your guide will bring the legend to life at a scenic viewpoint nearby.

End the day at the Palace of Knossos with skip-the-line access and insight information from a local.

This private experience is fully customisable to your interests, offering a personal and immersive way to see Crete beyond the tourist trail.
