This is one of the most significant caves and very close to Pothia. It is very interesting from a speleological point of view because it has a corridor of 103m long, strewn with enormous stalactites and stalagmites. It was initially recorded as The Cave of Zeus. It is also believed that it was the hunting ground of pirates, in search for treasure. It is accessible by sea or by motor road and dirt road from Pothia. From the top of the hill where the dirt road leads you, after the paved St. Katerina road has run its length, follow the blue markings on the rocks, along the path taking you to the final building. The goat path that goes to the cave on the slope to the northwest, branches off to the right and is perfectly visible, as is the cave itself whose entrance is sheltered from the sun by an awning.

Cave of Kefala - August 2010 In August 2010 I found the opening hours of the cave as follows : opened daily from 8:00 to 15:00 , except sundays. There was no admission to be paid. Manolis - the very friendly guide and goog ghost of the cave, showed as the wonderful cave and gave us excelent explanations about the history of the Kalymnian caves. Really great !! Thank You for good guidance. |

I fell instantly in love with the place and encourage people to come visit Kalymnos. Breath taking views, wonderful scenery and warm hearted people, great for family vacations and those who seek adventure ! |
