Cave Asprochaliko, Prehistoric cave in Ziros Municipality, Greece
The Asprochaliko Cave extends 25 meters in width and 5 meters in length, featuring an impressive vertical reach of 20 meters within limestone formations.
Archaeological excavations conducted from 1964 to 1966 by the British School of Archaeology revealed over 500,000 stone tools and animal bone fragments.
The cave served as a seasonal shelter for nomadic groups who followed red deer and wild goat migrations during spring and autumn periods.
Located 20 meters above the national road E951 between Ioannina and Arta, the cave offers parking spaces along the opposite side of the road.
The site contains archaeological evidence spanning 90,000 years of human habitation, from 100,000 to 10,000 years before present.
