Caves
- Name: Alepotripa
- Location: Diros
- Description: The
Pyrgos Dirou Cave System, located 5 km
to the NW, incorporates the famous caverns
Alepotrypa and Vlychada, both explored
by speleologists Ioannis & Anna Petrochilos.
The Alepotrypa cavern was discovered in
1958. Archeological research begun in
1970 under the direction of archaeologist
Georgios Papathanassopoulos. In the course
of the late Neolithic period (4000 - 3000
BC), the cave was extensively used as
a shelter, a dwelling, a workshop, a storage
place for goods, a cemetery and a place
of worship. The richness and quality of
the unearthed findings bear witness to
the existence of a populous society in
Alepotrypa, which developed over time
into an important center that engaged
largely in trade, maritime, farming and
stockbreeding. Strangely enough, human
skeletons were found on the surface, denoting
that entombment had not taken place. The
latter led archaeologist G. Papathanassopoulos
to the conclusion that these Neolithic
people died suddenly during a strong earthquake,
which in turn generated huge rockslides
from the ceiling, thus, blocking the cave's
entrance. The passageways of Alepotrypa,
decorated with stalagmites and stalactites,
measure 500 m long. The cave covers an
area of 6.500 m2. The central cave ends
to a most beautiful lake attaining a maximum
depth of 6 m. The cave is not open to
the public, yet.
