Hermes Cave is situated at the eastern side of Mount Ziria in the county of Korinthia in the Peloponnese. You will have to climb at 1700 metres altitude to discover it, but it will reward you with its extraordinary and peculiar beauties in return.

Your excursion to Hermes Cave could be teamed up with a visit to Flambouritsa valley, as well as, to the village of Ano Trikala.

During the antiquity, this actual cave was a place of worship to Olympian God Hermes and this is where people would come to show their devotion in return of Hermes’s help and guidance.

According to mythology, Hermes himself had selected the location of the caves to hide the immortal cows he had stolen from his brother Apollo.

Nowadays, Hermes Cave is worthy of your visit in order to discover and admire what nature has notoriously created within the cave’s seven distinct halls. The cave’s age counts millions of years and this is clearly manifested through the voluminous stalactites and stalagmites that "decorate" its magical interior.
