Experience the mythological heart of Crete on our full-day Land Rover adventure to Zeus Cave and Lassithi Plateau. Unlike crowded coach tours with 40+ passengers, we accommodate maximum 6 guests in air-conditioned Land Rover Discovery vehicles with forward-facing leather seats—no cramped sideways benches.
Your professional guide leads you through traditional mountain villages. Visit a local olive oil factory for tastings of premium extra virgin oils and local products. Explore the legendary Zeus Cave (Dikteon Cave) where the king of gods was born—descend into impressive caverns with stalactites, stalagmites, and underground lakes.
Experience the breathtaking Lassithi Plateau at 840m elevation, once famous for thousands of windmills. Walk through authentic villages, meeting local artisans and seeing the ancient 2,400-year-old plane tree. Enjoy traditional Cretan lunch at a family-owned taverna with local wine.
Stop at a pottery workshop to watch craftsmen demonstrate ancient techniques.
