The Plateau of Lassithi
by Minoa.info / Juhani




Lassithi plateau is about 44 km west from Agios Nikolaos. The whole area is visible from the road which goes around the plains. The old metal windmill structures, which were used for pumping the irrigation water for the fields, are characteristic of the area. Panoramic view of the plateau. Different types of windmills have been built in the tourist sites of the area as a reminiscence of the past.










A few working windmills can still be found around the plains

High mountains circle Lassithi plateau and they have to be crossed in order to reach the plains. The clouds often hit and fade into the mountains keeping the sky clear. Panoramic view of the cloudy mountains.
