The lands of ancient Greece are covered with real legends. Here all become real and everybody can feel as a child, looking at all these with own eyes. But if in addition to myths, you want to learn more about the history of Greece and all of humanity, then you are welcome into the Petralona cave.

A cave of astonishing wonders

The majestic mount Katsika, located on the Peninsula of Halkidiki, hides a cave of astonishing wonders. It draws tourists with its captivating beauty, where stalactites hang from the ceiling and stalagmites rise from the ground. The exploration of this cave caused a stir in the paleontology world. In 1960, the discovery of a 700,000-year-old skull revealed a treasure of artifacts that were previously only seen in books.

The cave is a must-see destination that astonishes with its secrets and surprises. It’s an opportunity to explore a piece of history and marvel at wonders that will leave you speechless.

Archanthropus: not primitive species

The discovery turned out to be the skull of an Archanthropus, a species whose intelligence was almost on par with that of homo sapiens, but its age was much more ancient than any other human species yet identified on the european continent.
