Caves
Name: Elinokamara
Location: Agia Marina
Island: Kassos
Description: Ellinokamara Cave. The cave provided shelter to local inhabitants during times of regular pirate raids. Its entrance, measuring 30 m wide and 10 m high, has been closed since antiquity with a wall built of equal-sized stones ending at two openings. Further exploration has yielded ceramic items dating to various epochs, including the Mycenaean era. It appears that the cave was a place of worship over a period spanning from the Mycenaean era until the Hellenistic times. Located west of Agia Marina, it overlooks the small valley of Paradisi dotted with olive-trees and fields that reach down to the seashore. Opposite the cave lies the tiny offshore islet of Armathia, flanked by several other islets.
