Mallia Palace & Kera Monastery at Lassithi Valley
The Minoan Palace of Malia situated near the town of Malia, ranks as the third-largest Minoan palace on the island. Positioned by the sea along the route joining eastern and central Crete, it presents a stunning setting for uncovering the mysteries of this ancient marvel. Historians suggest that the Palace was initially established circa 1900 BC, thereby transforming the adjacent settlement into an impressive Palace city. Although the original palace succumbed to destruction around 1700 BC, it was reconstructed on an identical site and according to the same design by 1650 BC. Unfortunately, this new Palace also faced destruction in 1450 BC, after which it remained uninhabited. Currently, visitors may observe the remnants of the Neopalatial complex, encompassing the Central Court, the North Court, and the Tower Court. The majority of the extant ruins originate from the second palace, alongside a small structure from the Mycenaean era erected within the ruins. To gain insight into life during ancient Crete, one should not overlook the opportunity to explore this remarkable Minoan Palace in Malia. Subsequently, we proceed to the Lasithi valley, positioned 850 m above sea level.

Driving along the Northeast coast through the gorge of St George we reach the fishing village of Elounda or Plaka. Embarkation by traditional boat to the tiny island of Spinalonga.

At the beginning of the 19th century human pain and sorrow was scattered around this islet. It became a leper colony, the last active leper colony in Europe, and it remained so until 1957, when it was cleared by the Health Authorities, leaving the place uninhabited.
