In the early years of the century the caves which are placed in the area of Alistrati were known to the inhabitants of the village as "Holes"

All over in the area of "Petroto " there have been found five caves. The biggest and the only which have been exploited is the Alistrati's cave

It was officially opened on 21/6/1998

The passage is 1200m long and the altimetry distance between the highest and the shortest spot of the passage is 1m long. The passage is flat and quite easy to walk.

The first official exploration took place in 1959 by a group of young people, headed by a local school teacher named Iatridis Dimitrios. They climbed down through a hole, almost sixty meters deep. When they reached the bottom they were dazzled from the beauty they faced. They were at the exact same place the today's visitors first see when they come inside the cave.
