On the north side of Mount Dikte, in the Lassithi Plateau is the Dikteon Andron Cave, the legendary birthplace of Zeus. The cave entrance is reached either by walking or by a donkey ride. Good shoes with a non-slip tread are necessary. A local man will provide a ride up and down and will give a tour of the cave with a flashlight. Most of the guides speak only Greek. The cave entrance is reached after a 20-minute walk up a stony path. The entrance is at 1,025 metres above sea level and is 14.8 metres wide.
