Tips
Zeus Cave (Idean Grotto). The cave entrance is at an altitude of 1538 meters, so climbing is a must. The god Zeus is said to have spent his youth here and later handed over the laws of the land to his son Minos, the mythical king of Crete. Here, too, more was definitely planned, the entrance area looks half-finished. The cave itself is large and full of pigeons.
