Description

The ‘CATHERAL’ cavern was immersed into the water during Minoan times when the Santorini earthquake triggered a tsunami. This is evident as there are spectacular stalagmites and stalactites which reveal that at some point of time this cavern was found to be above water. Its entrance is at 14 meters and in many areas there is a difference in temperature (+/-1 degrees) as you enter fresh water pools. Another interesting feature is light beams coming down from the top of the cavern creating a very special effect.
