Cave of Alistrati

04/02/2016

The Alistrati Cave lies about 6 km southeast of Alistrati’s town at a place called “Petroto”.

The antechamber of the cave is 8 m height. It’s from this point that start different high galleries folly decorated with stalactites and stalagmites.

The main branches of the cave are developed to the left and to the right of the entrance starting from a huge chamber, the Teception Chamber of a width of 60 m, a length of 100 m and height of 20-30m. It’s in this chamber that nature decided to demonstrate its power in creating ornaments.

What fascinates the most is the huge stalactites and those pure white forming draperies.

There are other chambers and their height is quite the same 8-10m.

From the reception chamber and towards the left, emerges a second passage, quite parallel to the first. In this gallery there are even some red stalagmites which are called “The flames”.

The height of these formations reaches 35 m.
