Cyclops cave, Archaeological site and cave in Makri, Greece
The Cyclops Cave features a central chamber measuring ten meters in length, with a smaller connecting room and a third narrow space at its end point.
Archaeological excavations within the cave walls revealed continuous human occupation from prehistoric periods through the Byzantine era, when the area functioned as a settlement cemetery.
The location connects to Greek mythology through its association with the tale of Odysseus encountering and outsmarting the one-eyed giant who resided there.
The entrance to the cave measures five meters long by three meters high, with a wooden handrail guiding visitors along the access path before Makri port.
From inside the cave chambers, visitors can observe a panoramic view extending from Alexandroupolis to the mountains of Ismaro through the entrance opening.
