Caves
Name: Mara
Location: Prossotsani
Description: The Maras Cave, situated in the area of Kokkinogia, was discovered in September 1978 by a team of Greek and French speleologists. The latter, departing from some natural phenomena, maintained that the waters of the sources of the Aggitis River were flowing through a cave. In order to uphold their theory, they conducted underwater exploration of the sources by means of diving suits. At a depth of 7 m, they discovered a passage leading to the cave. A huge gallery measuring some 500 m in length was also found. Its ceiling is dripping with stalactites, some of which attain a diameter of 2 m and reach the surface of the water. Their amazing colors are attributed to the existence of ores (manganese, iron, copper, etc).
