Tuesday – Lasithi Plateau and Dikteon Cave

Disappointed with the overcast weather on Tuesday, we changed out of our swimming costumes and into sturdy(er) walking shoes for a trip to the Dikteon Cave which is, as legend has it, the birthplace of Zeus. Dikteon Andron contains striking stalactites and stalagmites...
