    Tips

    The Dictaean Cave, or Psychro Cave, is a magnet for visitors. If you like, you can ride a donkey up the main route for a lot of money. But you can also climb on the (northern) side route and hardly meet anyone (off-season).

      In the low season adequate 3 € / person (instead of 6 €). Tip: park at the bottom of the village and walk the short path to the cave. The main car park seems to be chargeable.

        Steep climb, which is richly rewarded at the end.
