About
The hike starts off fairly easy but gets tougher as we begin our descent towards the cave. Once inside the cave, we can explore the many stalagmites and stalactites formed in the cave over thousands of years. Here we also take a little break overlooking the beautiful Aegean sea. Our way back is the toughest part of the hike as we now have a fairly substantial climb.
This hike is only for experienced hikers as the hike includes climbs as well as descents in tougher environments.
After 3,5 hours we are back in Aperi. Bring your own flashlight if you have, otherwise we can lend you one.
