Next, we venture to the legendary Cave of Zeus (Diktaion Andron), immersing ourselves in the ancient tales of Greek mythology. In the traditional village of Psychro, savor the flavors of authentic Cretan cuisine, including the renowned Cretan raki.

Descending through a mesmerizing route, we arrive at the tranquil town of Agios Nikolaos, the cosmopolitan capital of Lasithi prefecture. Take in the beauty of the lake and wander through the enchanting city market. Indulge in a delightful seaside meal before continuing our journey to the exquisite Elounda, known as the most scenic part of Crete.

Our day concludes in the picturesque fishing village of Plaka, where we visit the UNESCO Heritage Site of Spinalonga, just 500 meters away.
