Best Hikes to Dikteon Cave (Cave of Zeus)

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.
