A remarkable work of nature
The Cave of Perama is one of the most impressive caves in the Balkans. It was formed on Goritsa hill, near Lake Pamvotida, and extends to 14,800 sq.m. Visiting the cave will offer you a unique experience, as you will have the opportunity to have a first-hand experience of a rich variety of stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years.
The natural setting that has been created inside the cave is a composition of evocative beauty. Its atmosphere combines natural serenity with the sense of an underground world that is said to have inspired the Underworld of ancient Greek mythology.
Covering a distance of about 1,100 metres on trails and stairs, you will pass through 19 small and large halls, in a tour that lasts about 45 minutes.
At the entrance you will find the "Anna Petrochilou" Cave Promotion & Visitor Reception Centre, where the history of the discovery of the cave is presented and its value is highlighted through exhibits and audiovisual material.
The route to the cave is particularly pleasant thanks to the tourist train, which can take you from the centre of Perama to the entrance of the cave, offering a beautiful ride overlooking the lake.
Perama Cave is an ideal destination for families, couples and groups who want to experience a special part of the natural beauty of Ioannina. Its easy access and full signage make it accessible and enjoyable, while its natural majesty makes every visit look like a trip to another universe. Visit it and you will not only see a natural attraction up close, but you will have an impressive experience that combines knowledge, nature and mystery.
