Offered in: English

Explore the less explored side of Aperi where a hidden cave with stalagmites and stalactites amazes us. Where streams create paths over the winter and spring time, leaving us a natural trail for the summer. You feel like you are far away from Pigadia even though it's only a short ride away to start hiking in this untouched path with only rural and wild areas surrounding you.

What to expect

Meet your guide in front of Miramare Hotel, next to AutoTour in Pigadia at 8:30am. Follow us with your own rental car for 10 minutes or join our transfer if booked on time to assure your spot. This hike starts in Aperi, near the exit of Achata beach. On our way to the cave we can enjoy nature and spectacular views.

The hike starts off fairly easy but gets tougher as we begin our descent towards the cave. Once inside the cave, we can explore the many stalagmites and stalactites formed in the cave over thousands of years. Here we also take a little break overlooking the beautiful Aegean sea. Our way back is the toughest part of the hike as we now have a fairly substantial climb.

This hike is only for experienced hikers as the hike includes climbs as well as descents in tougher environments.
After roughly 4 hours we are back in Aperi.
 Bring your own flashlight if you have, otherwise we can lend you one.
