This tour will let you explore many places at the Lassithi Plateau such us the mythical Cave of Zeus and the monastery of Vidiani. You will visit the traditional village of Krasi, where lays the oldest tree of Crete and later in the day you will attend an Olive Mill Farm where you will be guided around and learn more about the production of olive oil, olive soap and honey. Last but not least, the day will end with a delicious local lunch that will be prepared for our group (not included in price) at the outdoor special area of the Ovive Mill Farm, with unique view to the Agean Sea and the Cretan Mountains.

This was such a good day out and well organised.
The cave was great to walk around, it was a lot of steps and a walk up a big hill to get there so wouldn't advise for anyone elder. Price of the cave entrance was only 6 eur.
Short stops at a few other places, would have liked these stops to be a little longer.
Tour of the olive farm and lunch was great 15 eur for buffet and lovely entertainment of local singers too

The tour was great, well organized and everything was well explained. The only downside was the long drive until everyone was picked up and the same thing happened on the way back. The air conditioning didn't work on the way home.

The only great thing about the tour is the Zeus Cave. You have to bear in mind that you have to walk up the mountain for about 15 minutes. The rest of the tour is pretty boring and the olive farm is just a way to make money from tourists. It's better to just drive to the Zeus Cave and explore the area yourself.

Great trip, highly recommended. You see a lot of the country and its people. Beautiful views. You have to be a good walker to get to the cave itself.

Not enough time at the monastery (20 minutes instead of 45) and Krasi, the guide does not stay with you so you are on your own, which is nice on one level, but if you do not hear the time you will be late. The cave is a steep 20 minute climb up the mountain so this is not for everyone! Then you have a 10-minute tour of how soap and olive oil are made and they give you 1.5 hours to eat and drink there instead of half an hour extra time in a beautiful traditional village like Krasi. All in all it was beautiful? yes, but you spend just as much time on the bus as you do seeing things.

We had an amazing time on the tour! The cave of Zeus is beautiful and our guide Helena was wonderful, she gave us lots of interesting information.
There is a difficult walk to get to the cave of Zeus, it is worth it but would be difficult for anyone struggling with mobility. There is a wonderful green museum at this spot too, which could always be an alternative.
The olive oil factory was also a great experience, and their products were delicious.

The trip was great. The guide was probably the best one we've had so far. Towards the end, we visited the olive factory and degustated different types of olive products. The food at the restaurant was amazing, definitely worth it, and on top of that, there was live music performance.

The crew was amazing. The tour was informative, and there was so much to see and do. I felt like I had the nest driver on the Island, he was absolutely amazing getting us to our destination and back to our hotel safely. This tour is worth doing. Things to be mindful of I would say If height s and walking up hills is not your tging, there are great cafes to sit and soak up the atmosphere of the mountain. The olive oil factory was my favourite as I was able to buy a few products. Great tour.

Great day - enjoyed the stops and finding out about local customs. The walk up to the cave and then down into the cave was good exercise ! The guide was great, very knowledgable and informative . The down side —— The trip blurb said pick ups of 30 min - it was actually 1.5 hours!!!
