In the highlands of Mount Spathi lies the Lasithi Plateau, a large and fertile plateau whose inhabitants cultivate the land below the imposing mountain peaks.

It’s a great idea for a day trip during your stay in the wider area. Get to the plateau and visit the ancient Cave of Zeus, which is supposed to be God Zeus’s birthplace.

See the crops on the plateau, mingle with the farmers and gaze at mighty Spathi towering over the plateau.
