Hiking
The grain was ground here long ago with these historic windmills. No wonder, because up here it is very windy. Also, the view is just great on both sides of the pass. You can see all the way to the Cretan Sea and on the other side across the Lasithi Plain to the Dikti Massif, whose peaks are covered with snow well into the spring.

A hiking trail leads past the old mills to the small chapel and to Mount Karfi.

Hiking
The windmills on the famous Lassithi Plateau are located right off the road. Admission and parking are free. One of the mills has been completely restored. Sturdy shoes are recommended for the easy climb. Unfortunately, you can't go all the way to the top, but you still have fantastic views over the plateau.
