Roadtrip to Lasithi, Crete . Starting from Heraklion to Lasithi and Agios Nikolaos and then back
Lasithi is the name given to the region in the eastern part of Crete. It's a bit dryer and warmer than the rest of the island, but because of that, its beaches and resorts are among Crete's best.
Those miles of coast between Heraklion and the east are justly known as the Cretan Riviera. There are the remains of a palace and a good beach of Malia, though the hordes of lager louts have somewhat spoiled the place in recent years. It's a better idea to go on to Aghios Nikolaos, dubbed the Saint Tropez of Crete. When the jet set goes to Crete, this is where it can be found, especially at the world class resort found in Elounda region.
Behind the resorts stretch a lush Lasithi plain, dotted with windmills. The Romans judged the produce here the best in the Empire. And you can still savour the best vegetables in the local tavernas, washed down with pure local wine.
Intrepid hikers will like Zakros, on the eastern tip of Crete, with its air of seclusion, its date palm wood, and an eerie walking route through the Ravine of the Dead, so called because it's an old Minoan burial spot.
And here's a fact: the eastern end of Crete is slowly sinking as the whole island slowly tips over. But don't worry -- it will be a long time before you really need to worry about anything. Meanwhile, let's get a little closer to the different bits of the endless experience that is Crete.

Lasihti plateau, Crete, Greece 2000

Because of its isolated nature (the first road to the plateau wasn't opened until the 1970s), the Lasithi plateau has attracted the attention of population geneticists. A 2007 Y-DNA study showed that Y-DNA samples from the Lasithi plateau differed significantly from those of lowland Crete,

Lasithi
Lasithi (Greek: Λασίθι) is the easternmost regional unit on the island of Crete, to the east of Heraklion. Its capital is Agios Nikolaos, the other major towns being Ierapetra, Sitia and Neapoli. The mountains include the Dikti in the west and the Thrypti in the east. The Sea of Crete lies to the north and the Libyan Sea to the south.
To the east of the village of Elounda lies the island of Spinalonga, formerly a Venetian fortress and a leper colony. On the foot of Mount Dikti lies the Lasithi Plateau, famous for its windmills. Vai is well known for its datepalm forest.
Thanks to stunning beaches and its mild climate year-long, Lasithi attracts many tourists. Mass tourism is served by places like Vai, Agios Nikolaos and the island of Chrissi. More off-beat tourism can be found in villages on the south coast like Myrtos, Makrys Gialos or Makrigialos, Xerokambos and Koutsouras.
Lasithi is home to a number of ancient remains. Vasiliki, Fournou Korifi, Pyrgos, Zakros and Gournia are ruins of Minoan date, Lato and Itanos were Doric towns.

Lasithi Plateau
The Lasithi Plateau (Greek: Οροπέδιο Λασιθίου, Oropedio Lasithiou) is a high endorheic plateau, located in the Lasithi regional unit in eastern Crete, Greece. It was formerly a municipality whose seat was its largest village, Tzermiado.
Geography
The Lasithi Plateau stretches 11 km (6.8 mi) in the E-W direction and 6 km (3.7 mi) in the N-S direction. It is approximately 70 km (43 mi) east from Heraklion and lies at an average altitude of 840 m (2,760 ft). Winters can be harsh and snow on the plain and surrounding mountains can persist until mid-spring. The plateau is famous for its white-sailed windmills, (more accurately, wind-pumps), a local invention that have been used for two centuries to irrigate the land. Despite their vast number (some 10,000) in the past, most of them have been abandoned nowadays in favour of modern diesel and electrical pumps. Because the water table is close to the surface of the ground, all burials in cemeteries are above ground, in a stone mausoleum, or a stone box with decorations. This is because the plateau is endorheic, and there is impermeable rock just below the surface of the ground.

Crete
Crete (Greek: Κρήτη, Kríti ['kriti]; Ancient Greek: Κρήτη, Krḗtē) is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands, and the fifth-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus, and Corsica. Crete and a number of surrounding islands and islets constitute the region of Crete (Greek: Περιφέρεια Κρήτης), one of the 13 top-level administrative units of Greece. The capital and the largest city is Heraklion. As of 2011, the region had a population of 623,065.
Crete forms a significant part of the economy and cultural heritage of Greece, while retaining its own local cultural traits (such as its own poetry and music). It was once the center of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), which is currently regarded as the earliest recorded civilization in Europe.
Name
The island is first referred to as Kaptara in texts from the Syrian city of Mari dating from the 18th century BC, repeated later in Neo-Assyrian records and the Bible (Caphtor). It was also known in ancient Egyptian as Keftiu, strongly suggesting a similar Minoan name for the island.

Οροπέδιο Λασιθίου Lasithi Plateau Creta Tour Guide
Το Οροπέδιο Λασιθίου είναι δήμος αλλά και μια γραφική πεδιάδα που περικλείεται από βουνά. Βρίσκεται στο νομό Λασιθίου περίπου 70χμ ανατολικά του Ηρακλείου. Το οροπέδιο είναι γνωστό και για τους γραφικούς πια ανεμόμυλους. Τις δεκαετίες του '50 και του '60 το οροπέδιο ήταν ένα από τα πρώτα αιολικά πάρκα της Ευρώπης. Υπήρχαν περίπου 16 χιλιάδες ανεμόμυλοι που αντλούσαν τα υπόγεια ύδατα, με τα οποία πότιζαν τις καλλιέργειες τους οι κάτοικοί του. Το σχήμα του οροπεδίου Λασιθίου είναι στενόμακρο, από την Ανατολή προς τη Δύση, σε μήκος 10 χιλιομέτρων και πλάτος 4-5 χιλιομέτρων. Στην ανατολική πλευρά υψώνεται ως νησίδα μέσα στην πεδιάδα ένας λόφος, η Κεφάλα, και χωρίζει το οροπέδιο σε δυο μέρη. Το ανατολικό δεν έχει υπόγεια νερά, ενώ το δυτικό, που είναι σε έκταση πολύ μεγαλύτερο, έχει άφθονα υπόγ...

Ανεμόμυλοι Λασίθι Lasithi Windmills Creta Tour Guide
Το πιο χαρακτηριστικό ίσως στοιχείου του Οροπεδίου Λασιθίου είναι οι ανεμόμυλοι που σε παλαιότερες εποχές λειτουργούσαν κατά χιλιάδες και δημιουργούσαν ένα τοπίο εκπληκτικής ομορφιάς. Τους πρώτους μύλους τους συναντάμε μπαίνοντας στην κύρια είσοδο του Λασιθίου, από την πλευρά της Αμπέλου. Πρόκειται για 26 αλευρόμυλους σε πέτρινο πύργο και είναι κτισμένοι στη γραμμή του αυχένα δεξιά και αριστερά της εισόδου. Κατασκευάστηκαν μετά τη μεγάλη Κρητική επανάσταση του 1866-1869 και μέχρι το Β' παγκόσμιο πόλεμο ήταν οι μοναδικές αλευροβιομηχανίες της περιοχής. Σήμερα οι περισσότεροι είναι ερειπωμένοι και μόνο τρεις από αυτούς έχουν ανακατασκευαστεί. Ορισμένοι παλαιότεροι μύλοι σχεδόν κατεστραμμένοι σήμερα, βρίσκονται στο βόρειο-ανατολικό τμήμα του Οροπεδίου. Μέχρι και λίγα χρόνια πριν οι ανεμόμυλ...

Lasithi is the name given to the region in the eastern part of Crete. It's a bit dryer and warmer than the rest of the island, but because of that, its beaches and resorts are among Crete's best.
Those miles of coast between Heraklion and the east are justly known as the Cretan Riviera. There are the remains of a palace and a good beach of Malia, though the hordes of lager louts have somewhat spoiled the place in recent years. It's a better idea to go on to Aghios Nikolaos, dubbed the Saint Tropez of Crete. When the jet set goes to Crete, this is where it can be found, especially at the world class resort found in Elounda region.
Behind the resorts stretch a lush Lasithi plain, dotted with windmills. The Romans judged the produce here the best in the Empire. And you can still savour the best vegetables in the local tavernas, washed down with pure local wine.
Intrepid hikers will like Zakros, on the eastern tip of Crete, with its air of seclusion, its date palm wood, and an eerie walking route through the Ravine of the Dead, so called because it's an old Minoan burial spot.
And here's a fact: the eastern end of Crete is slowly sinking as the whole island slowly tips over. But don't worry -- it will be a long time before you really need to worry about anything. Meanwhile, let's get a little closer to the different bits of the endless experience that is Crete.

Matala is famous of its caves, the breathtaking Samaria gorge is one of Europe’s wildest places, while the beaches of Preveli and Vai await the lovers of the sea.

Το Οροπέδιο Λασιθίου είναι δήμος αλλά και μια γραφική πεδιάδα που περικλείεται από βουνά. Βρίσκεται στο νομό Λασιθίου περίπου 70χμ ανατολικά του Ηρακλείου.
Το οροπέδιο είναι γνωστό και για τους γραφικούς πια ανεμόμυλους. Τις δεκαετίες του '50 και του '60 το οροπέδιο ήταν ένα από τα πρώτα αιολικά πάρκα της Ευρώπης. Υπήρχαν περίπου 16 χιλιάδες ανεμόμυλοι που αντλούσαν τα υπόγεια ύδατα, με τα οποία πότιζαν τις καλλιέργειες τους οι κάτοικοί του.
Το σχήμα του οροπεδίου Λασιθίου είναι στενόμακρο, από την Ανατολή προς τη Δύση, σε μήκος 10 χιλιομέτρων και πλάτος 4-5 χιλιομέτρων. Στην ανατολική πλευρά υψώνεται ως νησίδα μέσα στην πεδιάδα ένας λόφος, η Κεφάλα, και χωρίζει το οροπέδιο σε δυο μέρη. Το ανατολικό δεν έχει υπόγεια νερά, ενώ το δυτικό, που είναι σε έκταση πολύ μεγαλύτερο, έχει άφθονα υπόγεια νερά σε βάθος 8-16-18 μ., ανάλογα με τη θέση. Έχει μέσο όρο υψομέτρου τα 840 μέτρα. Τα όρη που το περιβάλλουν είναι τα εξής:
νοτιοανατολικά βρίσκεται ο κύριος όγκος της υψηλότερης κορυφής Σπαθί που βρίσκεται στα 2.148 μέτρα
ανατολικά βρίσκεται η Τζίβη ή Αλόιδα στα 1.664 μέτρα
Από το βορρά έχουμε τη Σελένα στα 1.559 μέτρα
βορειοδυτικά το Λουλουδάκι που είναι στα 1.163 μέτρα
Δυτικά βρίσκεται η Σκλόκα που είναι στα 1.298 μέτρα και ο Αφέντης στα 1.578
Από το νότο έχουμε το Σαρακηνό που φτάνει στα 1.580 μέτρα, το Βιργιωμένο στα 1.414 και τέλος τη Μαγερεύτρα που έχει υψόμετρο 1.462 μέτρα...only for education, culture, e-learning... 4U2C https://www.youtube.com/user/SYKOLOGOS ...

Crete's (Greece) 10 Best Travel Destinations according to DK
10. Gournia
Gournia is the site of a Minoan palace complex on the island of Crete, Greece, excavated in the early 20th century by the American archaeologist, Harriet Boyd-Hawes. Gournia lies in the municipality of Ierapetra in the prefecture of Lasithi.
9. The Amari Valley & Mt Ida
Crete's Mount Ida is the island's highest summit, sacred to the Goddess Rhea, and wherein lies the legendary cave in which baby Zeus was concealed from his father Cronus. It is one of a number of caves believed to have been the birthplace or hiding place of Zeus. On the flank of this mountain is the Amari Valley, the site of expansion by the ancient settlement at Phaistos.
8. Samaria Gorge
A 14km gorge that descends 1250 meters to sea level through some of Europe's most spectacular natural scenery. The walk up the gorge from south to north is pleasant for the main part but the last 3km, up the Xyloskala is extremely tiring. The most famous part of the gorge is the stretch known as the Gates, where the sides of the gorge close in to a width of only four meters and soar up to a height of almost 300 meters.
7. Gortys
Gortyn is a municipality and an archaeological site on the Mediterranean island of Crete, 45 km away from the modern capital Heraklion. The seat of the municipality is the village Agioi Deka. Gortyn, the Roman capital of Crete, was first inhabited around 3200 BC, and was a flourishing Minoan town between 1600-1100 BC.
6. Rethymno
Rethymno is a city of approximately 40,000 people in Greece, the capital of Rethymno regional unit on the island of Crete. It was built in antiquity, but was never a competitive Minoan centre. It was, however, strong enough to mint its own coins and maintain urban growth. One of these coins is today depicted as the crest of the town with two dolphins in a circle.
5. Phaistos
Phaistos currently refers to a Bronze Age archaeological site at modern Phaistos, a municipality in south central Crete. Ancient Phaistos was located about 5.6 km east of the Mediterranean Sea. The name, Phaistos, survives from ancient Greek references to a city in Crete of that name, shown to be, in fact, at or near the current ruins.
4. Chania
Chania is the second largest city of Crete and the capital of the Chania regional unit. It lies along the north coast of the island, about 70 km west of Rethymno and 145 km (90 mi) west of Heraklion. Despite being heavily bombed during World War II, Chania's Old Town is considered the most beautiful urban district on Crete, especially the crumbling Venetian harbour.
3. Heraklion Archaeological Museum
The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is a museum located in Heraklion on Crete. It is one of the greatest museums in Greece and the best in the world for Minoan art, as it contains the most notable and complete collection of artifacts of the Minoan civilization of Crete.
2. Heraklion
Heraklion is the major city and capital of the largest Greek island of Crete. Its Archaeological Museum holds the remains of the 3000-year old Minoan civilization, which grew around the nearby legendary palace of Knossos (of Minotaur fame), as well as Byzantine churches and a well-preserved Venetian wall and fortress from the 15th century.
1. Ancient Knossos
Knossos is the site of the most important and best known Minoan palace complex in Crete. It is located some 5 km south of Heraklion. According to tradition, Knossos was the seat of the legendary Cretan king Minos. The Palace is also connected with further legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth and the Minotaur, as well as the story of Daidalos and Ikaros. Excavation has revealed that the site was continuously inhabited from the Neolithic period (7000-3000 B.C.) until Roman times.
