Perama Cave

The Perama Cave is located beside the idyllic lake, only four kilometers away from the city of Ioannina, in Perama. It was discovered accidentally in 1940, during the Second World War, and after its end, it was photographed for the first time by Konstantinos Kassikis, a trainer and amateur speleologist.
 
Thus, John and Anna Petrochello (founders of the Hellenic Speleological Society) learned the existence of the cave and began its systematic exploration and mapping so as to become the first tourist cave in Greece.It consists of several successive halls and corridors decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, curtains and impressive columns in marvelous clusters. In 1956 fossilized teeth and bones of the cave bear were found.
