For over 130,000 years humans inhabited this cave, a 500-sq-metre chamber, 7km southeast of Kalambaka. A boardwalk ensures an easy circuit around the site and clear descriptions explain the remarkable cave history. Elements of the cave indicate the evolution from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens and, later still, the transition from hunter-gatherers to farmers. Incredibly, a 23,000-year-old stone wall in front of the cave is believed to be one of the oldest-known man-made structures in the world.
