Caves
Most well known Cave of the area is the one of “Cyclop Polyfimos” (in Maronia) but also there are in the nearby area 2 more (Strimi and Xilagani). They accommodate 10 of the 300 kinds of bats that they live in Europe. They have a rich archaeological interest, but unfortunately, they are closed for the visitors for many years. There are many tries to open again for the public. Our Reception desk can inform you if there is a possibility for a guidance even from the outside area.
