Kastania Cave

Kastania Cave extends over 1,500 square meters across two levels, with red and white mineral formations creating patterns along its walls and ceiling.

The cave formed through geological processes over three million years in Jurassic-age limestone deposits dating back 195 to 145 million years.

The cave holds protected status as a listed archaeological site in Greece, contributing to the understanding of natural geological processes in the region.

Guided tours in Greek and English navigate a 500-meter route through the cave, with adult admission at 7 euros and student tickets at 3 euros.

The formations inside include rare geological features such as discs, flat stalagmites, and elictites, colored by crystalline carbonate lime with metal oxides.
