The Olive Tree of Azoria (Kavousi)
Olive (Olea europaea). roughly 3,000 to 3,400 years. Free, publicly signposted ('Old Olive Tree' / palia elia signs from the east entrance of Kavousi). It stands beside a public road next to the Azoria archaeological site, and no permission is needed.

The Plane Tree of Krasi
Oriental Plane (Platanus orientalis). . Free. It stands in the open village square at Krasi, about 600 m above sea level, beside the stone fountain that still runs all year. Tavernas sit under the canopy, so the square is in daily use rather than fenced off.

The Evergreen Plane of Gortyn
Oriental Plane (Platanus orientalis). . Paid entry to the Gortyn archaeological site, open daylight hours. The tree stands at the back of the enclosure, near the Odeon and the Law Code, rather than by the entrance, so plan on buying a ticket.
