Caving

The Caves of Attica are: -

Penteli Mountain - The Cave of Listarchos Davelis

Access to it entails 1-hour walk from Agia Triada.

Paeania or Liopesi - Koutoukis Cave

A captivating site, hidden on a slope of Mount Ymittos (asphalted road, parking area)

Pan Cave - Mt. Parnitha National Park

Hiking trails to the Moni Kliston Monastery, Goura Gorge to the rock-climbing site at Arma and the cave

Salamina Island - Moulki or Aeantio

The Cave of Euripides is located in Peristeria -10 chambers - Euripides wrote his tragedies in retirement here

Spetses - Bekiris Cave

In Agii Anargyri, at the back of the island, this cave was used as a hide-out by the fighters of the Greek War of Independence (1821)

It is not a sport they do much here, but they often had to live in them

For about 400 years under Turkish occupation the Greeks have used the Mountains and caves as a home from home

They have little gardens in the middle of no where in most areas of Greece, some of the Greek cuisine starts from these gardens.

Caves are for living in so many have been altered to accommodate the Greek partisan.

Due to the threat of earthquakes, it is almost unheard of to go spelunking deeply so if you do get to go, crazy though you are, I do not know if you will find a Greek guide.

But maybe a map

Looking for info on the right kind of caves to do the sport in, but may have found some to have an Event in

Coming soon

If we do find a cave you can crawl in, you might have to bring all your own equipment

There are hundreds of Caves that are not on the official register, some are used as places to have a rest even now by farmers and herders

But Deep Caves, for splunking, these you can try to find yourself

Because they have a limited rain fall and most of the water in Greece comes from the mountain ranges that travel up through Europe, their underground water system is not charted

I have been to many villages where there are pipes hammered in to the side of a cliff and water just constantly comes out

This water fountain is called a PYGI (pronounced Peghi)

A local Pygi is often where you will find locals going daily with 5 - 10 litre bottles so they can have fresh water in the home

You want to plan an Event in Greece? You need the services and facilities?

Weddingreece.com is the directory site that gives you the options, the people here in Greece that you can talk to and the choice

You may not be able to get down and dirty with the caves here as you do else where but they do have splendor in that they saved lives
