king Minos. The Palace of Knossos is connected with thrilling legends,
such as the myth of the Labyrinth, with the Minotaur, and the story of
Daidalos and Ikaros. Lasithi is a different angle of Crete. The area
got its name from the Plateau of Lasithi, located in the mountains of

and has about 10,000 windmills! It is the largest and highest plateau of

Scuba Diving
Although the area of Amoudara is perfect for holidays in
Crete, the bottom composition (sandy) and the shallow depth (2-3
meters) don’t allow us to do any diving in the area. That's why we
transfer the divers to our diving centre in Agia Pelagia, which is only
10 kms away!

wide variety of coffee places, restaurants, taverns and bars. There are
also a few smaller beaches located nearby and plenty of amenities in
