Product Info

A hike for those who love places full of nature’s energy! An exploration of a mythological place, the Corycian Cave dedicated to Gaia and her daughters the nymphs.

We hike through a lush fir forest for about an hour to the Corycian Cave. Its entrance is hidden at the summit of Palaiovouna hill. From there you have a splendid view to the higher summits of Mount Parnassos, the altitude plateau and the sea! Dedicated to the Corycian Nymphs and the god Pan (god of the wild life), the cave is known not only for its beauty but also for its ancient myth, proclaiming that it was visited by divine spirits. It was formed by underground waters in ancient times. Scientific research showed that the cave was inhabited from the Neolihic era and the abundant finds date back from the Neolithic to the Classical period. The cave is connected to Delphi by an ancient footpath pilgrims use to follow in ancient times. Its rock walls, sculpted by the waters reveal us fascinating figures such as “the witch”, “the rabbit”, “the thinker”.

This pleasant hike will make you feel the vibrations of a cave considered by the ancients to be the center of the ancient world.
