Alistrati Cave
Σπήλαιο Αλιστράτης
One of the most beautiful caves in northern Greece, with stalactites, stalagmites, and rare twisted helictites lining the walking path.
Alistrati Cave is located in a limestone mountain about 35 km northwest of Kavala, beside the Angitis River gorge. It is one of the largest and most popular caves in northern Greece. The open visitor route is about 900 meters long, flat and easy to walk. Along the way, visitors can see tall stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, and twisted eccentric helictites, with well-designed lighting. Visits are conducted as guided tours and take about 45 minutes. The temperature inside is a constant 18°C, so bring a light jacket in summer. Admission is about 10 euros, and opening hours vary by season. Visitors need to travel by car or private vehicle. It can be combined with the Angitis Gorge hiking trail near the cave entrance, or with the Philippi site as a day trip.
