A big cave on the coast.

The Pelekita cave lies near Kato Zakros. It's one of the largest caves in eastern Crete, with halls and stalactites.

The cave lies on the coast north of Kato Zakros and is one of the largest caves in eastern Crete, with halls full of huge boulders and stalactites. It was used in Neolithic times. A path from Kato Zakros leads to the cave in about an hour, along a beautiful coastal route.

The cave is reached by a coastal path from Kato Zakros, which takes about an hour. The walk is beautiful, with views over the sea and the rocky coast. Inside, the cave has big halls with stalactites. Bring a torch and good shoes.

Sitia is the far east of Crete, a quieter, less touristy area of dry hills, olive groves and vineyards. The town of Sitia has a pretty harbour, a Venetian fortress and museums, and the area includes the palm beach of Vai, the Toplou monastery, the Minoan palace of Zakros and the Gorge of the Dead. Much of the area is part of the Sitia UNESCO Geopark. The local olive oil is among the best in Greece.

Lasithi, the eastern end of Crete, is quieter and greener than you might expect. Agios Nikolaos wraps around a small lake and a lively harbour, with cafés on the water and beaches within walking distance. Just north, Elounda and Plaka look across to the fortress island of Spinalonga, one of the most moving places on the island. Περισσότερα για Λασίθι
