    Follow an easy trail heading to the ancient city of Lissos. During ancient times, Lissos was one of the most powerful trading and fishing hubs of the area that was totally abandoned all of a sudden, due to a destructive earthquake. Till nowadays, the ancient city hasn’t been totally excavated, and believed that some important buildings such as the temple for the goddess Diktinna are still underground. Hike under the old pine trees and from the top of a hill admire the breathtaking scenery with the namesake gorge beneath you and the bright blue sea in the distance. Then, following the trail, you’ll reach a barrel plateau with views over rocks that meet the sea. This is the place of the ancient Asclepieion, a healing temple, built in the third century B.C.E and dedicated to the god Asclepius.

Rebecca organized an amazing trip to Greece for our family of four. We visited Naxos, Santorini, Crete and Athens for a 10 day extraordinary experience. Every tour guide was very knowledgeable, but also friendly and accommodating. They were on time for every pick up and excursion. She planned once in a lifetime tours that we will never forget. We highly recommend Rebecca at Grecian Lux!

Very interesting tour through the beautiful old town. Great (and plenty) of food to sample and a delicious lunch in a place obviously frequented by lots of locals. Iannis was a great guide and provided us with very helpful advice and recommendations.
