Then Platres — a cool pine-forest retreat that once charmed royalty and poets. Fresh mountain air, panoramic views, and a pace that makes the coast feel like another world. At Lambouri Winery, the serious tasting begins. Commandaria — the wine of kings and crusaders, one of the oldest named wines in the world — plus local varieties and Zivania. Your guide fills in the centuries of winemaking history behind every glass. The final stop: Laneia — a village beloved by artists, filled with flower-lined lanes, local art, and quiet charm. The perfect way to end a mountain day. Back to the port — but the mountains don’t leave you that quickly.
