Nestled in the charming village of Tzermiado on the Lassithi Plateau, Trapeza Cave, commonly referred to as Kronio, beckons exploration.

According to the Ministry of Culture, this cave is situated at an altitude of 860 metres, approximately 800 metres west of the community of Tzermiado. Comprising two chambers adorned with natural formations, the cave yields a treasure trove of shells and bones. In 1935, Pendlebury conducted systematic excavations, uncovering evidence of its use during the Neolithic, Early Minoan, and Middle Minoan periods.
