The Dikteon Cave is the Cave of Zeus, a cave of great mythological and archaeological interest, located at an altitude of 1025m. Inside, there is a rich decor of stalactites, stalagmites, and a picturesque lake.

The cave is identified with the myth that tells of the birth of Zeus by Rhea and his upbringing with the help of Amalthea and the Curetes, in fear that Cronus would swallow this son as well. It is also connected to stories such as that of the prophet Epimenides, who “slept” there, the union of Zeus with Europa, the birth of Minos, the Harpies, and more.
