DIKTI CAVE
Cave, an ancient place of worship in Psychro.
The cave was partially excavated in 1886 by archaeologists J. Chatzidakis and F. Halbherr and in 1897 by A. Evans. However, systematic and large-scale excavations began in 1896 by British archaeologists under the direction of David Hogarth. The discoveries made (which are in the Heraklion Museum) indicate that the cave was a place of worship from the pre-palatial period (2800-2300 BC) to the beginning of our era. All this on 2,200 m² with stalactites and stalagmites. Bring good shoes.
