★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The most impressive cave of Parnassos unfolds its secrets.
Pan’s Cave or Corycian Cave, at an altitude of 1.360 m. at the south west part of Parnassos, within a beautiful forest with firs and a great view, was dedicated to the God Pana and the Corycian Nymphs. It has a global reputation, not only for its natural beauty but also for the magic created by the ancient myth, where according to Aeschylus the cave was a place that was visited by divine spirits.
Pierre Amandry explored the cave in 1970, brought into the cold light findings from the Neolithic era and evidences that prove that the area was a place of worship of the ancient gods.
After a wonderful route, we admired the natural sculptures that have been created by the stalactites and the stalagmites.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Reachable by car only if you have an SUV. Reachable also by hiking for about 30'/45' from the village of Livadi. Nice place, great views! Make sure you bring a torch, a bottle of water and some snack.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A big ancient cave (100m)on the slopes of mount Parnassos.In the antiquity it served as a sanctuary for deities and nymphs.It is an hour's hike if you decide to leave your car at the base of the hill. The cave itself has a great acoustic and is pretty humid with cool temperature.The view from up there is pretty nice as well!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We hiked all the way over here from Delphi. It took us quite some time but it was surely worth it! The cave itself is enormous. The hike towards it took us over some small and overgrown paths which could be hard to find at some times. Very rewarding!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place reachable by car, but you have to be careful a lot and go very slowly. An SUV is the best choice to go up there. It takes 20 mins from the main road to reach the place. You can park the car just below the cave and you only have to walk 30 meters to get inside. Amazing views also. The cave inside is mysterious with beautiful stalactites. Its not big and its very cold inside.Definitely you should visit if you are in the area.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We trekked up the gravel road in the snow in a very unseasonably cold March.
The trek was an exciting change and it was challenging but not too difficult as the road is a steady incline most the way.
The cave in ice was quite beautiful and I loved the echos! We didn't dare to venture past the main cavern but it was so satisfying to get there after our adventure. It can be slippery so watch your step.
