Four Martyrs Square is located in Rethymnon, one of the most central areas of the prefecture of Rethymno, just before the Great Gate and the entrance to the old town. It was named the Square of Four Martyrs from the homonymous church on the west, between Dimakopoulou-Gerakari and Kountourioti Avenue. In the square area was once the Gymnasium Girls' School.
Plakias is located in southern Crete, about 30 minutes' drive or 35 km south of Rethymnon. The houses of Plakias hug a large crescent-shaped bay, with most buildings near the small harbour.
The Ideon Cave or Ideon Andron is found on Mt Ida or Psiloritis, the highest mountain in Crete. The Ideon Cave is one of the greatest cave sanctuaries in Crete, as important as the major Greek temples. It flourished in antiquity (4000 BC to the 1st century AD). The Ideon Cave was famous for being the place where Zeus, the Father of the Gods, was born and grew up. This claim is contested by the Dikteon Cave in East Crete, as Hesiod in his Theogony does not specify the precise location of Zeus’s birthplace.
