DIKTI (Mountain) LASSITHI
The second most impressive slope in Crete after GIGALO. It is situated above the plains of LASITHI in the plateau of LIMNAKARO and it is on the hillside of SPATHIOU. On the slope, 14 courses have been opened from IV to VI+ difficulty. None of the above are outfitted with permenant safe guards. Because of this, only competent climbers with proper gear should attempt this.
KAMINAKI (Village) OROPEDIO LASSITHIOU
An area in which you can see many unique beauties is the plateau of Lassithi. It is possible do many things: to hike, to explore caves in nearby Dikti Andro, and to fly parapente from the village of Kaminaki. The village is situated at the end of the plateau. It has a Northern orientation with a elevation variance of 300m. There is a mountainous rural road which leads to the takeoff which is relatively good. The landing, of course, is below in the village in which the willing and hospitable Cretan people will offer you the traditional drink, "tsikoudia". And after a nice flight, it's worth it.
AGIOS GEORGIOS (Settlement) IERAPETRA
The shelter is found in the area of Anestassi, above the west side of the Limnakaro plains. It is about one hour and 45 minutes from Agios Georgios. (Details & photo in the following URL)
PALEKASTRO (Small town) ITANOS
Palekastro in the last few years has become the center for Wind surfing
at the beach of Kouremenos. With the Meltemies often blowing, the naturally clean
beach and surrounding waters make the Beach of Palekastro one of the most popular
beach in Greece. At the Beach of Kouremenos there is a well organized French
School for Wind surfing, manned by professional teachers, supplying equipment
and giving lessons to beginners and skilled wind surfers. The school is working
from June to the end of September. Palekastro is one of the few places in Greece
for the passionate lovers of wind surfing to enjoy the Meltemi especially through
the months of July and August that the wind blows strongly in the area.
