Tips
Pelektita Cave is very interesting. Easy hike and easy access to the cave. Beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. I definitely recommend taking a flashlight with you. A little further along the shore there are ancient quarries.

Pelekita Cave is a large, impressive cave on the east coast of Crete, near Kato Zakros. It is approximately 310 meters long and contains enormous stalactites and stalagmites. The cave was already inhabited in the Neolithic period and is located near an old quarry. It can be reached by a hike of about an hour or by boat. A flashlight and sturdy shoes are recommended due to the slippery surface.
