The cave is close to the Gourgouthakas cave, near the village of Melidoni, at a height of 1600m. At 1110m of depth, it is the second deepest cave in Greece. It was explored for the first time in 2008 by a French-Greek caving expedition.
The cave starts with a sloping gallery and continues to a vertical chasm. For the first 480m, it is narrow, dry and with small vertical descents. It then opens into a large gallery, traversed by a river with waterfalls and small basins. Its deepest part ends in a small sump with water and has yet to be explored. The cave is only accessible to speleologists as it requires experience and equipment.
