In Psychro there is plenty of parking space, with plenty of restaurants nearby. Two paths leading to the cave start from the parking area. The easiest path is the left one, because in the right path (the oldest) the stones are worn by thousands of tourists and are slippery. The route to the cave is magnificent as the view to the Lassithi Plateau is breathtaking.

Agia Fotini Cave and Monastery is a beautiful place to visit and just a hike away from the Village of Avdou. The entrance of the cave is shaped into a spectacular and steep rocky cliff, formed by the sharp collapse of the limestone,and accessed via the trail that starts from the church of Agia Anna. The view from the entrance to the valley of Avdou, known as Langada, is magnificent. Near the other edge of the room, a small space serves as a “holy altar” and above it, there is a “balcony”. According to tradition, Saint Fotini looked to find a quiet and secluded part, so as to dedicate the rest of her life to God alone.
