DRAGON CAVE

According to legend, this cave (Σπήλαιο του Δράκου/Spilaio tou Drakou) was a gold mine guarded by a dragon. In fact, it was only discovered in 1940 and apparently never occupied by man. Still, it's a superb site. Every half-hour, a 25-minute guided tour takes visitors through ten rooms along a 300-metre route, with stalactites forming "curtains" and "dragon's teeth", stalagmites and seven small lakes. There's also an exhibition featuring a copy of the cave bear jaw discovered in the cave.
