Cave of Sfendoni

Sfentoni (or Sentoni) cave is located at the village of Zoniana and it’s 40 km away from Villas Lefkothea.

It occupies an area of 3000 square meters and the route is estimated at 270feet. It is one of the most beautiful caves of Crete concerning natural beauty, drippers and stalagmite.

The first who systematically explored the cave were John and Anna Petrochilou in 1956 and 1963 respectively. Since then it has been of special natural interest and the exploitation of it has been suggested. In this recovery, in 1987, the Ministry of Culture has proceeded to excavations which showed that the cave had been inhabited until the end of the Neolithic Site and rediscovered by humans only in Roman times.
