Lasithi Plateau

Lasithi Plateau Municipality

Zeus Creta

The intense geological activity that millions of years ago created in Crete the Lassithi plateau gave birth to a unique, rich and diverse ecosystem where the village of Psychro is located.

From here, as Greek mythology testifies, the creation of a new world began, since in this corner of the earth is the cave of the God of Gods, Father of Gods and people, Zeus, with the wonderful cave decoration and the many finds of worship of theogenesis.

The windmills of Lassithi Plateau

Perhaps the most typical characteristic of the Lassithi Plateau is its windmills. In the past they numbered thousands, making up a magnificent landscape.

Kroustallenia Monastery

Kroutstallenia Monastery, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was already in existence during the 2nd Byzantine era of Crete (961-1204).

Plateau of Katharo

Katharo plateau sits at 1100 m; to its southwest rear the high peaks of the Lassithi mountains. It is linked geomorphologically and hydraulically with the main and lower Lassithi plain through the Havga gorge which for most of the time runs as a torrent.
