Ce qui vous attend

L'île inhabitée d'Elafonisi, dans le sud-ouest de la Crète, regorge de beautés naturelles et de richesses culturelles. Les gorges de Topolia, la grotte d'Agia Sophia, le monastère de Chrissoskalitissa et une plage que beaucoup considèrent comme la meilleure de l'île, sont quelque uns des points forts de cette journée d'excursion. Rena, l'une de nos guides locales, dit : "Cette excursion combine le meilleur des hauts plateaux crétois avec l'idyllique plage de sable rose d'Elafonisi, sur la côte sud".

La journée commence de manière décontractée, avec un arrêt pour prendre un café dans une taverne familiale au hameau agricole de Voulgaro. De là, une route époustouflante vous attend vers le sud, à travers les gorges de Topolia. Les vues sur le profond ravin à votre gauche sont épiques. Nous visiterons ensuite la grotte d'Agia Sophia, célèbre pour ses stalactites. Vedette de plusieurs légendes, on dit qu'on peut y trouver l'empreinte du sabot du cheval de Saint-Georges. Si vous cherchez bien, vous trouverez ce qui ressemble à une empreinte de fer à cheval dans une roche.

Vous rejoignez ensuite le monastère de Chrissoskalitissa. Construit sur une colline surplombant le littoral et vieux de 1 000 ans, il a un charme intemporel. Son nom qui signifie "marches d'or" est imprégné de mythe. L'on dit que l'une des marches est dorée et qu'elle n'est visible que par les religieux. La dernière escale n'est rien d'autre qu'une carte postale parfaite. Rena nous dit : "Vous pouvez atteindre l'îlot Elafonisi en traversant une étendue d'eau peu profonde depuis la plage d'Elafonisi". Vous passez l'après-midi à vous baigner, à vous détendre et à admirer des beaux paysages. Nous terminerons la journée au village de pêcheurs de Paleochora.

Family tour to the mountains of Crete with Mythological Park

This action-packed day brings the essence of Crete to life for all the family. Discover Greek mythology as you explore scenic mountain trails on an off-road adventure leading to the Lassithi plateau. There's a chance to have a go at making ceramics and a visit to the Mythological Park, too. Katerina, one of our expert local guides, enthusiastically says, ‘Lassithi plateau is a personal favourite on this tour. You'll be greeted by the sight of dozens of windmills that dot the landscape. They were built in the 19th century to grind grain, and are now a symbol of the region.'Kick off on a trail which climbs into the mountains to reach the first stop at the Aposelimi dam. From here we'll make our way to a viewpoint where we can see across the Lassithi plateau, a high, fertile plain that legend states was the birthplace of Zeus.Rumbling down to the plateau, we'll head to a ceramics workshop and olive oil producer. It's a fun stop for the kids who will have plenty of time to have a go at making their own pottery creations. Next up is the Mythological park, where you'll find out all about ancient Greek myths - the special lighting and sound effects alongside the audio tour make the park enjoyable for all ages. Round off the day with a late lunch in a taverna, before calling in at the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year old plane tree and has a natural spring water source.
