Οι καλύτερες ποδηλατικές διαδρομές στο Χαλασιά (Ζενίων-Έξω Ποταμών-Μέσα Λασιθίου)

Thanks for the tip

The cave of Milatos has a sad history. It was here that all the villagers once hid from the Turkish occupiers. Ultimately, however, all of them died or were enslaved to escape starvation or thirst.

The best part of the tour was the 400m through the typical Cretan mountain village. It is simply charming to drive through the alleys, which are also the main street of the village. There are also a few local taverns in the village that offer local cuisine and invite you to stop for a bite to eat. It is recommended to take a break here and take a detour via the stairs in the side streets to take in the charm of the village.

Beautiful little harbor of Sissi.

World Heritage Site. And? There are only memories of the 10,000 windmills that once existed. But the mills have a purpose. To raise water. Today with electric pumps. Everywhere. What was achieved with wind for centuries is now clearly explained here in the development steps. The Lasithi Plain remains. Sometimes with one 's', sometimes with two. Sometimes with windmills, sometimes different.

Unfortunately, the excavation site is closed on Tuesdays

An open-air exhibition by windmills.gr provides information about the windmills of the Lasithi plateau and their technology over time.

German tour daily at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. (except Tuesdays) by Giorgios Pothos highly recommended: Thorough information, told in an interesting and funny way!
