This cave was the site of prehistoric remains. When Corfu was still connected to the mainland, hunters and gatherers lived here around 20,000 years ago. The finds are now in a museum. If you walk all the way through the eastern part, you'll have a beautiful view of Gardiki Castle. However, this cave doesn't look particularly cozy. It's hard to believe that people once lived here. At 20 meters long, it doesn't offer much space for a large number of people.
