Kapsia Cave . . . Kapsia Cave is located 15 km away from Tripoli and 1.5 km from the village of Kapsia. Experts have ranked it in the list of the 10 most remarkable caves of the Greek territory. It is located on the periphery of the closed geological basin of the Mantinean plateau and is connected to the complex system of natural sinkholes that characterise the water table. Among the findings of the cave are human bones and clay everyday utensils. The cave was first explored by the French archaeologist Gustavo Fuser in 1887 during his excavations in Madinia, Arcadia. In 1911, the official announcement of this cave treasure was made, marking the global interest in the Greek hidden land. In 1974, a new part of the cave was discovered, causing chills of excitement among naturalists and rafters. The cave turns out to be a record book of geological events. A major flood has left certified traces on it. And at the same time, lamps, tools, dagger-legs (cave cricket), bone fragments that tell the story of survival are unearthed from the depths of the earth. One of the areas in the Cave of Kapsia is called the Hall of the Miraculous. Explosive colours, reds, yellows and blues create a work of art of incomparable beauty, created by nature itself.   <- back
