It is located in the village of Perama at a distance of about 5 kilometers from Ioannina.
It is one of the rarest caves in the world. Unique for the variety in stalactites and stalagmites.
The tour lasts 45 minutes. It was the first cave in Greece that was used for tourism purposes.
Castle
Built on the shores of Lake Pamvotida with a perimeter of about 2 km is the largest Byzantine monument in Greece.
Wander the narrow alleys that still carry alive the Byzantine memories of the past and you will reach the inner Acropolis (Its Kale) where you will see the tomb of Ali Pasha and the lake from above. In the Castle there are also two well-preserved mosques.
