Psychro Cave is an ancient Minoan sacred cave on the Lasithi plateau, in the Lasithi district of eastern Crete, Greece. In the early 20th century, several scholars identified it with Dikte, a place some ancient authors named as the location where Zeus was raised. Later scholars disputed this identification, and Mieke Prent described it in 2005 as probably incorrect.
