Mountain escapes are used to be connected to trekking, rafting or climbing. Here you must discover something different that will offer you the best cave impressions in one of the most amazing mountains in Greece. Anemotripa Cave is located in Tzoumerka mountain chain and more specifically in Pramanta village. The cave is at an altitude of 900 m. and has a total length of 350 m. (270 to be visited). Anna Petrocheilou (speleologist) was the main researcher of the cave who decided to explore it in 1960.
Anemotripa is composed of 3 main levels; the highest one is not accessible by the visitors since it had been collapsed in the past. Thus, you can start your tour through the median level that is the main touristic path and offers a unique atmospheric environment that will magnetize you by the very first moment. In the cave’s lowest level there is an underground flowing river. Moreover, the cave is divided into several room spaces that are connected by corridors, sometimes uphill, sometimes downhill. Fascinating stalactites and stalagmites, waterfalls, ponds and the underground river are only some of the ingredients that if we mix them to the cave’s natural colors, the result becomes really majestic.
