CAVES CENTRAL CORFU


STAVROS

CAVE KATAHOSTI 

From the village of Komianata a long path leads to the Pantokratoras church. Close to the village the three Kaves caves are located. Continuing the same path for about 800 metres you'll reach the area of Foniko. On the right you'll see the olive grove of Stavros and on the left the top of the mountain. Another 300 metres further cave Katahosti is located. The size of the cave is about 40 square metres. The cave has a few stalactites. In 1943 the cave was used as a shelter.
