The cave has a rich history and has been used for various purposes throughout the centuries. On your tour, you'll have the option to visit Melidoni Cave instead of Zeus Cave. As you explore the cave, you'll see stunning rock formations, stalactites, and stalagmites, which have been formed over thousands of years. The cave is also home to a large chamber, known as the "Great Chamber," which is the highlight of the cave and a must-see for visitors. But what makes Melidoni Cave even more interesting is its history. The cave was used as a place of worship in ancient times, and it has also been used as a shelter during times of war and as a hideout for Cretan rebels during the Ottoman period. Today, the cave has been transformed into a museum, where visitors can learn about its history and significance.
