• The Melidoni Cave, also known as Gerondospilios, is located near Melidoni village in Crete. It holds significant archaeological and historical value, with findings exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Rethymno. Initially, it served as a Minoan worship site dedicated to Talos.

• Historically, the cave became a tragic refuge in 1823. Seeking shelter from Hussein Bey's army, 370 women, children, and 30 warriors occupied the cave. Upon their refusal to surrender, the Ottomans ignited combustible materials, resulting in their deaths in January 1824. An ossuary within the "Room of Heroes" commemorates this event.

• The cave features distinct chambers, including the "Pashley Room" and "Chamber of Curtains," showcasing impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations. These geological features contribute to the cave's unique and otherworldly atmosphere.
