Dikteon Cave

The Dikteon Cave is just above the village of Psychro at 1025 meters altitude.

The cave for centuries was considered a sacred place of cult worship, where offerings were made and few were allowed to enter. The most impressive sight is the lake at the lowest point, surrounded by massive stalactites and stalagmites.
