Caves
- Name: Mara
- Location: Prossotsani
- Description:
The Maras Cave, situated in the area of
Kokkinogia, was discovered in September
1978 by a team of Greek and French speleologists.
The latter, departing from some natural
phenomena, maintained that the waters of
the sources of the Aggitis River were flowing
through a cave. In order to uphold their
theory, they conducted underwater exploration
of the sources by means of diving suits.
At a depth of 7 m, they discovered a passage
leading to the cave. A huge gallery measuring
some 500 m in length was also found. Its
ceiling is dripping with stalactites, some
of which attain a diameter of 2 m and reach
the surface of the water. Their amazing
colors are attributed to the existence of
ores (manganese, iron, copper, etc).
