Directions of approach: Heading to Damasta (Old national road Heraklion - Rethymno) in about 2km after the crossroad for Tylisos village, in a height of 240m. (See the aproximate location on the map below)The entrance is big (10 metres width, 4,5 metres high). It has four domed rooms with impressive stalactites and stalagmites.
The first room has 12 metres width and 38 metres length. After a sheer descent of 3, 80 metres we reach room two with length of 21m, width of 19m and height of 15m. From the west part of room two, we reach room three which is the biggest room of the cave with 48m. length, 19m. width and height up to 15m. The room four is on the east of room two.
The existed drought of air shows that the cave communicates from another spot with the ground surface. Inside the cave have been found sub-Minoan conches, early geometrical, geometrical and probably roman, maybe because it was a place of worship of a kouritis feeding divinity.
