Δικταίον Άντρο - Cave : Diktaion antron, Crete HD
Ένα από τα πιο εντυπωσιακά σπήλαια της Κρήτης βρίσκεται στο Οροπέδιο Λασιθίου σε υψόμετρο 1025 μ. στις βόρειες πλαγιές της οροσειράς της Δίκτης. Το σπήλαιο του Ψυχρού (Δικταίον Άντρον) ήταν πολύ σημαντικός λατρευτικός χώρος της Μινωικής Κρήτης. Άλλωστε η χρήση των σπηλαίων ως κέντρων λατρείας ήταν από τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά των θρησκευτικών αντιλήψεων των αρχαίων Κρητών. Το ιερό αυτό σπήλαιο ταυτίστηκε με το περίφημο Δικταίον Άντρον, το οποίο σύμφωνα με την αρχαία παράδοση, είναι το σπήλαιο στο οποίο κατέφυγε η Ρέα για να γεννήσει το Δία.Η αίγα Αμάλθεια, που σύμφωνα με άλλο θρύλο ήταν Νύμφη, ανέθρεψε το Δία, ενώ οι Κουρήτες κάλυπταν το κλάμα του βρέφους με τους ήχους των όπλων τους και του άγριου χορού τους. Σύμφωνα με άλλους μύθους το θεό φρόντιζαν μέλισσες, περιστέρια ή ένας θηλυκός χοίρος. Κατά μια άλλη παράδοση το Δικταίον Άντρον ήταν το μέρος όπου ο Δίας έφερε την Ευρώπη, αφού την απήγαγε από τη Φοινίκη.Το όμορφο σπήλαιο με τον πλούσιο διάκοσμο έχει έκταση 2200 τμ, φωτίζεται επαρκώς, ενώ οι διαδρομές μέσα σε αυτό γίνονται από καλά διαμορφωμένο μονοπάτι μήκους 250μ.

Lasithi - Ag. Nikolaos
Aghios Nikolaos & Elounda in Crete, has one of the most spectacular landscapes in Greece. The traditional villages of the region, represent the beautiful Greek landscape you have always dreamed about!
The island of Spinalonga (official name Kalidon) is located in the eastern part of Crete, near the town of Elounda. Harking back to the Venetian occupation, the name Spinalonga is Italian, meaning long thorn.
History
In 1579, the Venetians built a fortress on Spinalonga over the ruins of an acropolis. They kept control of the island until the Ottoman Empire took possession of it in 1715.
The island is notable for being one of the last active leper colonies in Europe, being used in this manner from 1903 until 1957. The last inhabitant, a priest, left in 1962. This was to maintain the religious tradition of the Greek Orthodox church, in which a buried person has to be commemorated 40 days, 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years after their death.
There are two entrances to Spinalonga, one being the lepers' entrance, a tunnel known as Dante's Gate. This was so named because the patients did not know what was going to happen to them once they arrived. However, once on the island they received food, water, medical attention and social security payments. Previously, such amenities had been unavailable to Crete's leprosy patients, as they mostly lived in the area's caves, away from civilization, eating scraps left over by the wolves who shared their caves.
Dikteo Andro is found at the village Psychro which. was built in the 15th century Dikteo. Andro is , at a distance of 50M from the village. It is believed that here Zeus was born and that king Minos paid him frequent visits so as to consult his god-father. In.the investigations-excavations that started in 1896 were found: earthenware pots, spondee tables bearing inscriptions ,little idols: in praying position, bronze weapons and tools. the god Rea came for gave birth Jupiter (Zeus), as well as the Jupiter brought here Europe and slept with her, after him it stole from the Phoenicia (ancient mythological country).

According to the myth, there was an oracle that said Saturn would be killed by his son, so Saturn ate his children to protect himself. So Rea resorted to the Dikteon Andro to give birth to the father of all the gods, Zeus, secretly from Saturn.
