Unusual sights of Crete
Dikteyskaya cave (Zeus cave): those who get to it from the parking lot along a steep path (tourists are offered to overcome the path on donkeys for 15 euros in both directions; and the descent into the cave itself is carried out by a metal staircase), they will see stalactites and stalagmites (there is an electric lighting in the cave) and an underground lake, across which bridges are thrown.
Waterfall in the Rikhtis gorge: tourist routes are laid along the gorge (the most popular is 4.5 km long), which lead to a beautiful 10-meter waterfall (its waters flow into a clean lake, ideal for swimming on hot days). It is worth noting that those exploring the canyon will be able to meet various plants and animals.
