Theopetra Cave

Theopetra Cave, 7km southeast of Kalambaka, has been closed to visitors since 2016 due to the fear of landslides. Its first human occupation has been dated to 130,000 years ago; it used to be possible to explore its archaeological story along specially constructed walkways. The site is not expected to reopen, but ask locally just in case.
