From the popular beach, the entrance of Ellinospilios is at a short distance from the sea. To reach it you have to walk through a rocky area which is not adequately signed, while the cave itself requires special equipment to explore it.

In Ellinospilios, significant archaeological findings were found, like bones of humans and animals.
