Cave Dikti in the east of Crete - here, according to legend, Zeus was born. Let us not recall the legend associated with this child of the deity. And it's better to see what the cave looks like.

She is at an altitude of 1,050 meters above sea level. The entrance is not so easy to find: it is inconspicuous. But when you get inside, you are amazed by this centuries-old beauty, frozen in the stone. Oblasts-stalactites seem to make a strong impression in the growth of Zeus.

At the bottom of the cave lies a lake. Archaeologists found here weapons, gold and bronze ornaments. In the Minoan era, this cave was a cult place. And today tourists simply throw coins into the lake to return here again

And yet, you can not take photos from Zeus. The caretakers constantly pull back irresponsible tourists. In fact, you can fotkat, but without a flash, which violates the integrity of the walls of the cave.
