Cave Glyfada (or Vlihada ) Diroy is one of the most beautiful caves in the world . It is located on the west coast of the Laconian peninsula in the Bay of Diroy in the Municipality of Oitylou . The existence of the cave was known locally by 1900 . But no one suspected the miracle that was hiding inside until 1949 , when the founders of the Greek Speleological Society , John and Anna Petrocheilou began to explore the cave systematically . Until 1960 they had explored and mapped 1,600 meters , while today the known length of the cave is more than 15 km . The first underwater exploration of the cave began in 1970. The cave was formed before hundreds of thousands of years . The stalactites and stalagmites that are currently under water were formed, when the sea level was much lower than the current level . The water is brackish and has great toughness. The temperature is about 14 C, while the air ranges from 16 to 19 C. The physical port has a diameter of only half a meter and is very close to sea level. In earlier times , the cave had other inputs which are gradually closed . Inside the cave there have been found fossilized bones of panther , hyena , lion , deer , marten and the largest in Europe ore hippopotamus . Near the natural entrance ceramics have been found that indicate human presence . 220 m east of Glyfada is the Cave " Alepotrypa " . The cave also contains Petroglyphs . The ancient Greek myth about the Underworld of Hades probably comes from this cave "Alepotrypa " as well. which archaeologists explore the past few decades , bringing to light important findings , some of which date back even 9000 years ago, shortly after the Paleolithic era. Moreover , as discovered by archeologists , the cave was used as a cemetery ... ... middle of paper ... ...here them . It is therefore understandable that the lighting is the first and insurmountable obstacle to recovery without damaging the caves . And this is because the lighting of the radiation in the visible spectrum contributes to photosynthesis microflora , while the thermal radiation alters the microclimate , which in turn creates suitable conditions of cultivation. However in this little is known from the literature , so we move to the present only in the levels of experimentation and mainly driven belief that every factor that would alter the delicate microclimate of the cave , should be avoided. In conclusion , it should be noted that every cave exploited progressing inevitably towards disaster. It is so delicate , the natural laws that govern the balance of its environment , so the slightest external intervention slowly but surely will lead to the alter .
keeps the same name today as it did in ancient times. The beaches of Kardamyli, like most travel destinations in Greece, are known to be breathtaking and serene.
