Our driver Nikos was very experienced and handled the narrow streets like a pro! We drove around the Lasithi Plateau and had some nice stops for pictures. The tour through the olive oil factory was also very interesting. There are two different tours, one including Knossos Palace and one without (check the description of the tours).

“I felt a bit ripped off as in the description it said Cretan lunch was included in the ticket cost but it wasn’t and they wanted €15 for a basic buffet that was nearly empty by the time we got there. It was a nice trip except for the over 90 minutes of pick up and again at drop off. We saw some great things, the monastery was very interesting and learnt a lot about orthodox religion, the walk to the cave Zeus was born in was challenging and so was the climb down the stairs and back up to the cave itself, the village was lovely to see and…”

Yanina was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. This was followed by a table sitting where we sampled the olive oil with different cheeses, tomatoes, fruit and bread.

Also got a call the day before to confirm we were OK about the changes. Pick up time spot on. Driver and tour guide were great. Plateau experience was good, going up the mountain and views were fab. Due to the Zeus cave being closed we had an extended tour on the plateau which we were informed about, but in hindsight this was long and got a bit repeatative.
