    Going towards the sea, the entrance to the cave is on the left, about 100 meters after the chapel of Agios Antonios. It is a small hole in the rock at ground level, which is provided with an iron grating. But the lattice is not locked, so you can go into the cave.

    After the passage is a few meters very low, an impressive, approximately nine meter high grotto opens up at the end. It is said to have been the meeting place for monks in the past. And even today, something must still be happening in this cave - at least a religious image on a stone ledge and a few plastic chairs inside testify to it.
