Overview

This is a private tour. The mountainous, provincial road climbs the eastern slopes of Psiloritis and offers incredible views of Heraklion and the Cretan Sea. Soon we reach Krousonas and through a dirt road, which runs parallel to the homonymous gorge, to the plateau. The place is beautiful with thousands of pear and apple trees scattered all over. The dirt road will lead us tothe plateau of Nida, where we will visit Idaion Andron, the cave where Zeus was raised. From there, we will head to Anogia for a stop in a traditional kafenion. After we will go to Axos village and have free time in woodcraft museum. Our trip continues to Livadia and Psiloritis Chalet Retreat where we will have our cooking lesson – preparing traditional cheese and local specialties. The return to Heraklion will be through the provincial road Heraklion – Anogia.
