Dictaion andro Cave is famous in Greek mythology as
the place where Amalthea, nurtured the infant Zeus with
her goats milk. The nurse of Zeus, was charged by Rhea
to raise the infant Zeus in secret here, to protect him
from his father Cronus.
Krasi village belongs to the municipality of Chersonissos.
It is a mountainous village at an altitude of 600
meters. Point of reference of the village is the perennial
huge plane tree whose trunk has got a perimeter of 24
meters and is branched into several arms. The plane tree
is 2400 years old and it is said that each meter of its
perimeter corresponds to 100 years. It is estimated that
more than 10 people are required to hug this giant trunk.
This plane tree is among the 5 largest European trees. As
stated by the Dutch forester, Jeroen Pater, there are 200
trees in Europe with a diameter more than 10 meters.
