The Dragon's Cave was discovered by a local resident in the early 1940's and it is located by the Kastoria lake on the north side of the city. The entrance resembles that of a dragon's mouth and legend has it that the cave was a gold mine which was guarded by a dragon that spewed fire from its mouth to protect the mine.
The inside of the cave is beautifully decorated with stalactites and stalagmites spread throughout ten different rooms, and there are seven underground lakes making it one of the most unique caves in Greece! A state of the art air recycling and temperature maintenance system has been installed allowing the cave to have a stable temperature of 16-18 degrees Celsius and humidity reaching 90%.
There is a guided tour which last approximately 20 minutes and the trail is about 450 meters.
