Mount Karfi
€123.00
Mount Karfi is located at Lassithi plateau, about 70km west of Heraklion. Lassithi is known for the picturesque windmills. In the 1950s and 1960s the plateau was one of Europe’s first wind farms. There were about 10-13 thousand windmills that pumped the underground water, with which the local farmers were watering their crops. Moreover, the area is known as the birth place of Zeus, the King of the gods, according to the Greek mythology.
We start our hike from Tzermiado village, located at Lassithi plateau. An uphill cement road will lead us to the beautiful Nissimos plateau, where the trail to the summit of Karfi begins. At the summit we can find the ruins of an ancient Minoan settlement and have a panoramic view to the north coast, the mountains of Selena and Dikti and the Aposelemi dam. From the summit we will descend back to Tzermiado from a different path by following an old rocky-build mule path.
