Drogarati's Cave is located close to Sami and it was discovered 300 years ago, when a part of it was destroyed because of a strong earthquake revealing its entrance. The cave is 60m. deep, the temperature is at a constant of 18 degrees C and the humidity is 90%. Under the supervision of the speleologist Mr. Petrohilos it is open for the public since 1963. Speleologists say that this cave is about 100 million years old. They have confirmed that the cave has an extention that, however, is not approachable. That means that the cave is propably connected with other caves in the area. The multicolored stalactites and its translucent stalagmites compose a magnificent natural piece of work. In the biggest hall of the cave (900m2), the Chamber of Exaltation as it is called because of its perfect acoustics, is used for cultural events. |
