These caves were an unexpected find but definitely worth visiting. Whilst visiting Dryopida and looking around the village we were looking for the caves but kept walking around in circles. Finally we asked a girl in the bakery where were the caves and she actually took us directly to the caves. Thanks Katarina. It is free to go into the caves and a young Greek lad called Christos took us on a tour explaining everything about the caves. It was very interesting with lots of excellent history. The tour only lasts about 20 to 30 minutes but is definitely worth going to. There is a tip box on the way out to put some money in. It's a small price for an...

Very interesting cave/mine with significant history for the area. There was no ticket for your entry but only a box where you donated any amount of money if you wanted to. The tour guide was extremely friendly and ready to answer any questions we had. The length of the course was not that big in comparison with the total size of the cave/mine system. I wish there was better lighting inside due to the fact that most of the lights blind you cause they are pointed straight at you. Other than that, it is totally worth visiting. The municipality should...

The parts of the cave that are open for visitors are quite impressive. Due to mining that has been going on until the 1940s most of the stalactites and stalagmites are unfortunately gone but it's worth to see it anyway. The temperature inside is really nice at 17 °C! The tour (also in English) takes about 15 minutes, there are no set time for tours - as soon as you're there it starts. If you're in Kythnos you should go and see it, as well as the lovely village of Dryopida that's next to it. There's no entrance fee but a...

Ένας κρυμμένος θησαυρός στην πανέμορφη Δρυοπίδα. Διασχίζοντας τα γραφικά σοκάκια του Χωριού, ανακαλύπτει κανείς σε ένα ιδιαίτερο σημείο το σπήλαιο Καταφύκι. Εκεί όπου η ιστορία συναντά το μεγαλείο της φύσης. Ο χώρος αποπνέει μια ωραία ενέργεια και οι σχηματισμοί των πετρωμάτων, καθώς και οι φυσικές στοές παρουσιάζουν ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον και μαρτυρούν τις ιστορίες των ντόπιων. Η εμπειρία της επίσκεψης, ωστόσο, δε θα ήταν τόσο μοναδική, χωρίς την παρουσία του Μανώλη. Η ξενάγησή του, άρτια, πλήρης, γλαφυρή και ευχάριστη. Φιλόξενος, ευγενικός, υπομονετικός, χαμογελαστός και πρόθυμος να απαντήσει επαρκώς σε κάθε ερώτηση. Απόλυτα ικανός να προσαρμόσει την ξενάγηση σε όλα τα δεδομένα, καθώς τυχαίνει να βρίσκονται στο γκρουπ ξενόγλωσσοι τουρίστες και μικρά παιδάκια. Σίγουρα αν κάποιος επισκεφθεί το σπήλαιο, μαγεύεται από την ομορφιά του και δίνει υπόσχεση ότι θα επιστρέψει... Extra tip : Μην παραλείψετε λίγο πιο πάνω απ' το σπήλαιο να επισκεφθείτε το εκκλησάκι της Αγίας Άννας, απ'όπου θα θαυμάσετε από ψηλά μια μοναδική άποψη της Δρυοπίδας, ειδικά στο ηλιοβασίλεμα.
