This sycamore is said to be 2200 years old after a survey of the laser-conserved chip. The measurement took place in 2012 by the Cretan University. This was told by a saleswoman, who was allowed to participate as a biologist in the measurement. I found this oral information believable.

It is about 1800 to 2000 years old and has a trunk circumference of about 20 m.
Right next to it there is a restaurant.

In terms of diameter, this plane tree can compete with full-grown mammoth trees!
Many famous people have stayed in its shadow, e.g. Nikos Kazantzakis, Cretan politician and author (Alexis Sorbas)
