From the era of the Minoans, the Lassithi Plateau embodies fecundity and a passion for gastronomy. It’s a rich piece of Crete that serves as a reminder of the joy derived from gathering and preparing one’s own meals. It’s simply irresistible.
Our objective is to take you far from the throngs of Instagram-themed locations to the most pristine and uncrowded treasures of the island. Places that seem to exist outside of time, where history still lives on. This is the reasoning behind our travel experts’ creation of this gastronomic journey meant for those who appreciate true culinary art, mythology, and sublime landscapes.
This luxurious voyage will lead you through the delightful, yet often overlooked regions of Lassithi, across quaint villages, iconic windmills, and unrivaled scenic views of the Plateau.
As the sun begins to set, discover yourself in a Cretan homestead built adjacent to the Cave of Zeus, amongst ancient ruins that continue to emanate a timeless aura. Here, you will encounter the chef-owner of Mansion Halavro (translates to playground in the midst of ancient ruins) who will guide you through the artistic delights of Cretan culinary.
