From the Minoan times, Lassithi Plateau is the earth of fertility and love for food. A rich Cretan land to remind us of just how satisfying it is to source and cook your own ingredients. It’s why we love it.
We want to take you away from the crowded places of countless Instagram posts to the island’s most untouched escapes where time has slowed down and history persists. That is why our Travel Experts have designed this culinary adventure for lovers of authentic gastronomy, art, and mythic landscapes.
This luxury trip will take you through the charming and often forgotten country of Lassithi, across small villages, emblematic Windmills, and the Plateau’s spectacular views.
In the late afternoon, find yourself at a Cretan house that was built next to the Cave of Zeus on the ancient ruins that still exude timeless energy. Here you will meet the chef-owner of Mansion Halavro (means playground among archaic ruins) who will indulge you in the artistic pleasures of Cretan cuisine.

Alexander is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. He introduced us to Crete culture and taught us about Crete herbs and uses. The Lassithi plateau has a breathtaking view and was a perfect location to embark on a culinary experience. We were hosted by Manolis and Xaridimos Siganos and their family for a cooking class and then lunch afterwards. It was amazing to see the whole family involved in the activity. We were guided to make spinach pies and Greek stuffed cabbage. It was great fun cooking and tasting the fruits of our labour. The family also prepared a salad comprising wild herbs foraged from the plateau. It can’t get more immersive than this! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this tour. Thank you!
