The cave of Kastritsa


The cave

At the south side of Ioannina on the edge of the lake, close to the village of Kastritsa there is a cave. By the excavations, which they have not been finished yet, have been found four embankment fills at a depth of about 10 metres. The last fill dates back to 11.000 years.

There were found stone and bony tools (blades, picks, etc.) as well as animal bones of the paleolithic age. The findings are displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina.
