Trapeza, Crete, Archaeological cave site in Tzermiado, Greece.

Trapeza is a sacred cave on Crete, used in the Neolithic and Bronze Age. It is described as a burial cave and sometimes called the "table of Minos", since trapeza means 'table' in Greek. Some Bronze Age pottery found there resembles specimens from Knossos and Vasiliki.

People first used the cave around 4000 BC during the Neolithic period, leaving behind stone tools and pottery. Later during the Bronze Age, it became an important burial ground for the local population.

The cave served as a burial site during the Bronze Age, where people placed valued objects with their dead to honor them. These items reveal how deeply people cared for their deceased.

The cave lies in the Orepedio Lasithi Municipality of Crete, at coordinates 35.19790, 25.49360, and is a listed archaeological site in Greece. The sources give no details on paths, guided visits or opening times, so confirm access locally before setting out. Expect an unlit archaeological cave rather than a managed show cave.
