From the era of Minoans, the Lassithi Plateau has been a land of prosperity and culinary passion. Its rich soil of Crete serves as a reminder of the joys derived from procuring and cooking your own food.
We aim to steer you clear from the photo-op laden spots overrun by Instagram enthusiasts, instead guiding you towards untouched retreats on the island where history thrives amidst a slower pace of life. For this reason, our travel experts have curated this journey for those who love authentic food, art, and awe-inspiring landscapes.
This luxury expedition navigates through the enchanting yet commonly overlooked region of Lassithi, traversing quaint villages, iconic Windmills, and offering breath-taking views of the Plateau.
