Dikte Cave is one of the most important tourist attractions of the Lassithi region in Crete. Located on the southwestern edge of the Lassithi Plateau, it is visited by thousands of tourists every year. For some visitors, what is most interesting is the rich and varied stalactites of the cave, for others it is primarily a place associated with mythology. According to the beliefs of the ancient Greeks , the Dikte cave was considered the birthplace of Zeus. It is also worth emphasizing that the history of human presence in this place dates back over 6,000 years. The oldest traces of human presence in this place are dated by archaeologists to Neolithic times.

There have been rumors for several months since the cave was closing this summer for planned renovations. Today, confirmed information was given that the Dikte cave will be closed at the beginning of September, just after this year's holidays. What you need to pay attention to is the fact that the Dikte cave will remain closed until next year 2025.

The renovation works will be carried out as part of the large project "Improvement of accessibility and modernization of the infrastructure of Dikteo Andros". Among other things, the rocks inside the cave will be secured. Due to the delays that have already occurred in the implementation of this project, the work plan has been adjusted so that the extended availability during the summer months does not impact the overall schedule. For this reason, it is also important that work in the cave itself starts immediately after it is closed to tourist traffic.

The only unknown at the moment is the price of entry tickets to Dikte Cave. The Greek Ministry of Culture is preparing large increases for the Dikte cave , after which entry will cost €15. For now, however, it is not known whether they will come into force before the planned renovation.
