Caves
- Name: Elinokamara
- Location: Agia
Marina
- Island: Kassos
- Description:
Ellinokamara Cave. The cave provided shelter
to local inhabitants during times of regular
pirate raids. Its entrance, measuring 30
m wide and 10 m high, has been closed since
antiquity with a wall built of equal-sized
stones ending at two openings. Further exploration
has yielded ceramic items dating to various
epochs, including the Mycenaean era. It
appears that the cave was a place of worship
over a period spanning from the Mycenaean
era until the Hellenistic times. Located
west of Agia Marina, it overlooks the small
valley of Paradisi dotted with olive-trees
and fields that reach down to the seashore.
Opposite the cave lies the tiny offshore
islet of Armathia, flanked by several other
islets.
