Alepotrypa cave, Neolithic archaeological cave in Diros Bay, Greece
Located in the Mani region, Alepotrypa Cave extends 300 meters through successive chambers, concluding at an underground lake in limestone formations.
The cave served as a settlement and burial ground from 6000 to 3200 BC, containing remains of at least 170 individuals from the Neolithic period.
Archaeological excavations between 1970 and 2006 uncovered Late Neolithic stone tools, pottery, clay vessels, jewelry, and a copper axe within the cave.
The Municipality of East Mani maintains guided tours through the cave system, allowing visitors to examine both geological formations and archaeological discoveries.
Scientific analysis of stalagmites within the cave provides detailed information about climate changes and human activities during the Neolithic period.
