Overview
Nestled on Mount Zini in Kefalos, the White Stone Cave (Aspri Petra Cave) is a captivating blend of natural beauty and historical significance. This geological formation, dating back 100-140 million years, has been shaped by the dissolution of limestone over millennia. The cave's location offers stunning views of Kefalos Bay and the surrounding islands.Excavations in 1922 by Italian archaeologists revealed artifacts from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, confirming habitation since 3000 BC. The cave served as a residence, a place of worship for agrarian deities during the Geometric period, and a sanctuary until Roman times. Discoveries include Neolithic urn fragments, obsidian blades, and votive deposits linked to the worship of nymphs and Pan.Today, visitors can explore the cave's chambers, marvel at the stalactites and stalagmites, and appreciate its historical importance. The surrounding landscape offers opportunities for hiking and enjoying the coastal scenery.
