CAVES CENTRAL CORFU


BETWEEN PENTATI AND PARAMONAS

MEGALI GRAVA CAVE

Research to three caves between Paramonas and Pentati started with an old map of 1788 as received from the Archives of Corfu. The biggest of the two caves is located between Pentati and Paramonas. The cave is called Megali Grava and has one big room.

 

In 2018 the cave as marked on the old map was found in an olive grove opposite Megali Plaka. The cave does not have stalactites or stalagmites. While climbing into the cave a barn owl flew away. In the cave there were many pellets with bones and skulls of mice and other small animals.

 

Next step is to find the other cave.
