This is the symbol of Krasi and a big lure for tourists. The 2400-year-old tree - although some other records say 1969 ± 50 y - has a diameter more than 10 meters and is an impressive sight. It's a protected monument. Lovely taverna under its shade and the Megali Vrisi fountain next to it is also a notable landmark.
8. Venetian Walls and Tomb of Nikos Kazantzakis
