Top 6 Caves 東アッティカでの

There is a small cave at this point. The cave goes down vertically inside. I estimate about 15 meters. from up here you have a beautiful view of the bay.

An impressive chasm with a total vertical depth of 67 m and an opening in the shape of an irregular polygon with a perimeter of 22 m. The sinkhole has two landings at a depth of 10 m and 35 m.

The visitor can observe a very impressive spherical, natural void of karst type (Dolin), with a diameter of 120 m and a depth of 55 m. It was formed in the Quaternary within the Upper Marble Formation of the Kamariza Unit (LTU) by the collapse of a cave roof.

Interesting to take a refreshing break and explore from the water on a calm day if it's safe. There are also benches to relax with a great sea view.

An interesting geological phenomenon.

Beautiful place

Situated on the Athenian Riviera about 20 kilometers south of Athens is a stunning hidden wonderland – Lake Vouliagmeni. Close to one of the best beaches in Athens, this area is a beautiful natural landscape, with a rare geological formation and unique thermal spa in a setting of lush vegetation. Millions of years ago, the lake was located inside a huge cave and was fed by numerous hot springs and seawater. Following an earthquake in the area, the roof of the cave collapsed, leaving the lake as it is today. The lake covers an area of two hectares and the water level is 50cm higher than the local sea level. The lake is thought to be 50-100 meters deep and because it is still fed by hot springs and seawater, there is a distinct current that can be felt in the water. On the far side of the lake there is a rocky cliff face with a cave entrance which leads in to an extensive cave system with 14 tunnels covering 3,123 metres. So far, explorations have not found the furthest point of the rocky labyrinth. One of the tunnels is 800 meters in length – making it the longest of its kind in the world. This tunnel has a huge stalagmite which has raised questions amongst geologists about the formation of cave and the whole Mediterranean area.
