Our first visit to the village of Krasi
Upon arriving in the village, we see the imposing giant plane tree with a trunk circumference of 24 meters that shades almost the entire square. The plane tree is known for its size and age, which, according to the locals, is estimated to be between 1,800 and 2,000 years old.
Right next to it is the "Big Fountain," the famous stone-built aqueduct, which is considered one of the most beautiful water supply complexes in Crete. It was built in 1890 by master craftsmen of the time.
When you come to Krasi, you will find nice places for coffee, food, and raki, enjoying the beauty of a mountain village in Crete that retains its traditional character with nice taverns offering traditional flavors.
