Inside the cave
Sfendoni covers about 3,000 m² in 14 chambers, with a maximum length of 145 m. Chambers such as the Harmonies, the Chapel and the Parthenon are full of stalactites and stalagmites, and near the end there are 'fossilised waves', stone basins shaped by water.
It is also home to a tiny cave-dwelling isopod, Graeconiscus guanophilus.
Practical
Tours run daily from 15 April to 30 October, 10:00–17:00; in winter the cave usually opens only on Sundays. Tickets cost €6 at the entrance, with special rates for groups and schools. The walkway suits children and older visitors.
Inside it is humid and about 19–20°C all year, so bring a light layer in summer.
