Lasithi Plateau
The Lasithi Plateau ((ギリシア語:Οροπέδιο Λασιθίου), ''Oropedio Lasithiou'') is a high endorheic plateau, located in the Lasithi regional unit in eastern Crete, Greece. It was formerly a municipality whose seat was its largest village, Tzermiado.〔(Kallikratis law ) Greece Ministry of Interior 〕
==Geography==
The Lasithi Plateau stretches in the E-W direction and in the N-S direction. It is approximately east from Heraklion and lies at an average altitude of . Winters can be harsh and snow on the plain and surrounding mountains can persist until mid-spring. The plateau is famous for its white-sailed windmills, (more accurately, wind-pumps), a local invention that have been used for two centuries to irrigate the land. Despite their vast number (some 10,000) in the past, most of them have been abandoned nowadays in favour of modern diesel and electrical pumps. Because the water table is close to the surface of the ground, all burials in cemeteries are above ground, in a stone mausoleum, or a stone box with decorations. This is because the plateau is endorheic, and there is impermeable rock just below the surface of the ground.
