Chamoto Spiliari Cave in Kamaraki
In kamaraki, near the mountainous village Astyraki, which is 27 km away from Heraklion, is the Chamoto Spiliari cave. Specifically, it is located east of the entrance of the important Hainospilios cave. It is a very narrow cave 32 meters long with remarkable stone decoration. Chamoto Spiliari remains relatively unknown to most people even though it is of fantastic beauty. There are branches and holes everywhere that lead to small rooms and narrow passages. The visitor has the opportunity to see large columns, while in many places, there is a drip that creates small cavities with water ("gur"). Finally, note that touring inside the cave requires knowledge of speleology and appropriate equipment.
