Katafyki Cave, Natural cave formation in Dryopida, Greece.
The cave system extends over 600 meters through natural tunnels, featuring numerous chambers with stalactites and stalagmites of various colors and formations.
From 1835 to 1940, mining companies extracted iron ore from the cave, leaving behind visible remnants such as rails and wagon tracks.
The main chamber, known as the great square, served as a gathering place where local residents celebrated Easter festivals with traditional ceremonies.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and includes a circular path for visitors to explore the geological formations.
The stalactite hall measures 25 by 17 meters and contains mineral formations named after their shapes, including the Tower of Babel formation.
