Explore Milatos Cave, best known as the center of an 1823 battle between the brave local rebels of Milatos and the invading Turkish army, which ended tragically. You'll need a flashlight to explore the pitch-black caves, and many recommended taking transport to the site as the walk from the village is quite long. Within the cave, look for a small church built in 1935: it sits near a large circular opening revealing some spectacular views of the surrounding area, so bring along a camera! For travelers who use our online itinerary creator, Milatos holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Milatos Cave and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.

Very nice cave with big history, many people were killed here by othoman army centuries ago. A beautiful small church is in the cave made years ago. The view from the cave to the sea is wonderful. Its alot driving to reach the place but the experience worths it.

Great historic place - worth a visit! 1823 more then 3500 people used this cave as a hiding place from a turkish army. Inside the cave a flashlight could be helpful.

Beautiful large cave with easy 5 min paved stone walk from the road. Sign at the start describes the horrible history.
