The Lassithi Plateau at the island of Crete is a wide, fertile plain over 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, dotted with villages and fields as far as the eye could see. One of the first things we noticed was a row of stone windmills. There were about 20 in view, but once, there were over 10,000 of them! These windmills used to pump water from the ground for irrigation – a lifeline for agriculture here. The Lassithi Plateau has long been the agricultural heart of eastern Crete, with a unique microclimate and plenty of groundwater. Even today, the 18 villages around the plateau live primarily from farming. We flew our drone to capture this sweeping valley from above – the perfect blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.

This was a great conversation about offshore sailing, weather windows, boat prep, and life on the thorny path. 🎥 Watch the full pod: https://saltyabandon.com/saltypodcast96 👕 Salty Podcast SPF Sailor Shirts: https://saltypodcast.myshopify.com 🧼 Airlock 10% OFF with code SALTY: https://saltyabandon.com/airlock10salty
