From here, you will visit the village of Kastamonitsa nestling in the foothills of the Afendi mountains where you will experience breakfast Cretan style and be introduced to a local product, Raki.
Now brace yourselves for dirt tracks, following the Minoan path going through mountain passes, experiencing spectacular wildlife, unbelievable scenery, mythology, history and enjoy seeing the local nature at its best. Here, up high in the mountains you stop at a shepherds' Mitato where you can feed the animals whilst seeing shepherds produce cheese the traditional, old fashioned way and even taste this fresh, rich delicacy.
Next stop is a birds-eye view of the plateau of Lassithi and the North coast, a great photo opportunity not to be missed. After building up and appetite you head for lunch at a local tavern where you will have the opportunity to try a selection of traditional local starters and main courses (vegetarian option available) and enjoy a glass or two of the unlimited wine! Once refreshed you continue on to Lassithi visiting the Lassinthos Eco park where traditional handicrafts and the local way of life can be experienced.
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.

As you continue driving, you reach the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year-old plane tree and also has a natural spring water source.
Leaving Krassi, meandering down the mountain roads and past just some of the many olive tree farms on the island you will again see the spectacular coastline and deep blue sea.
