As you approach Tzermiado from the south, a sign on the right indicates the Kronios Cave, which is thought to have been used from the earliest human period as some form of shrine, and during the Minoan period as a grave site. A rough track of about 500m can be walked from the main road, to where a couple of hundred steps rise to the cave’s narrow entrance. Taking a powerful torch is advised and you need to be surefooted on the uneven and occasionally muddy surfaces inside the cave.
