    The path to this cave goes straight from the road into the forest, a bit difficult to find but only 170 meters

    The Sotiras (!) cave is located about 3 km from Sami and is part of the region's extensive karst system.

    It is known for its
    impressive stalactites and stalagmites. Inside, after approx. 190 meters, there is a large domed chamber into which sunlight falls through an opening on the surface.


    On the surface above the
    cave are the remains of the old orthodox church of Sotira.


    Unlike the well-known show caves, the exploration of the Sotiras cave is reserved for more experienced cavers, as it features steep descents of up to 25 meters.
