Private Guided Jeep Tour: Scotino Cave & Lasithi Plateau Adventure (Half-Day)
This itinerary takes you off the postcard and into the folds of Crete’s ancient breath — a route where myth and memory still hang in the air like morning mist. From the quiet village of Prassas, visiting a family-run olive mill to the mystical Skotino Cave, you’re walking the line between Minoan echoes and modern simplicity. Skotino isn’t just another cave — it’s a forgotten shrine, humming with untold stories.
Then, as the altitude climbs, so does the soul. The Lasithi Plateau opens up like a lost valley, where the old windmills still whisper to the gods. Krasi, the final stop, wraps things up under the shade of its thousand-year-old plane tree — a symbol of time well spent. What makes this route unique? It’s not a race through landmarks; it’s a slow dance with Crete’s untouched character.

One of Crete’s most atmospheric and lesser-known caves, Skotino offers a raw and mystical experience. Once dedicated to the goddess Artemis, the cave was used for centuries as a sacred site. Wander inside the vast mouth of the cave and feel the cool, damp air and spiritual silence — it’s a glimpse into the older, wilder Crete.
The plateau unfolds like a painting — fertile fields, scattered windmills, and timeless villages framed by the Dikti mountains. This high-altitude oasis has fed the island for centuries. Enjoy the fresh air, slow pace, and glimpses of everyday life: goats roaming free, locals tending to their land, and the rhythm of a rural world unchanged by time.
