Hersonissos

This route links a few of the most significant sights of the Heraklion Prefecture and passes through traditional settlements, vineyards and historical monasteries. It is a fairly easy and gentle route. However, museums and other sights demand quite a lot of time; therefore, one may choose to see them individually.

This route leads to picturesque villages and passes through the Lassithi Plateau, which is the largest plateau of Crete, and is also famous for its characteristic windmills and the Dictaean Cave, one of the most famous caves of the island.
