Travel Guide Psychro

Pronounce "Psikro". The village was built in the 15th century. But, of course, this is not the reason why thousands of tourists pass through the village every year, neither for the souvenir stores, nor for the mountain air. But for Zeus, who had a lucky escape thanks to a rock, some sheep and the cave of Dikti. Let's recall the facts: Ouranos (the Sky) and Gaia (the Earth) had seven children, the Titans. The youngest of them, Cronos, married Rhea, his sister. Gaia warned her son that one of her children would usurp her power. What did Cronos do? He swallowed each newborn child that Rhea brought to him... After Cronos had swallowed five of his own children, Gaia, who probably thought that the joke had gone on long enough, replaced the sixth child (Zeus) with a stone wrapped in rags... It is probably to form a personal opinion on the place and this story that thousands of tourists come to visit the cave every year, even if the cave itself is not extraordinary.
