The Drogaratis Cave, found 5 km away, is a true "sculptural" masterpiece. Once inside the cave, the visitor is instantly captivated by this remarkable workshop of the earth, where stalactites and stalagmites are being formed for thousands of years. The reflection of sunlight on the stalactites creates an unworldly, dream-like atmosphere. The cave contains a 44-m-long descending passageway that leads to a chamber of 30 x 40 m. The latter, decorated with multi-hued stalactites and stalagmites, is noted for its excellent acoustics and is arranged for concerts (a special platform has been erected along the back wall of the cavern). Maria Callas has even performed here. Its domed roof is intact and is of a unique, magical formation.
