Travel through the Lassithi Plain -- the breadbasket of Crete, where impeccably cultivated land supports such crops as potatoes, grain, apples and pear -- all irrigated by the famous windmills of Crete. This island was the granary of ancient Rome, and the produce from the island was considered the best in the empire.
Visit the 17th-century Monastery of Kera to see its fine frescoes and Byzantine icons. Then, continue on through woods and small villages to the Lassithi Plateau, where a breathtaking panorama awaits. Take in the landscape ringed by mountains and dotted with the island's characteristic windmills.
Your final stop is at the village of Seli, where you are treated to refreshments at a local taverna, in true Cretan style.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes.
