How To Get There

Since driving is the most convenient way to get to Lasithi Plateau, tourists are free to explore the area at their own pace. It is possible to take a public bus to the plateau, but there are a few things to think about before making the journey. The Lassithi Plateau cannot be reached by bus directly from Heraklion or Agios Nikolaos. You have to take the bus and make a stop at either Malia or Stalis, two coastal towns on the north coast, and then take a taxi to the plateau. To experience the Lasithi Plateau, many visitors arrange an organized tour. Lunch, admission costs, and other extras might be included in some tours but not in others. Before making a booking, you should carefully review the tour's information and reviews.
