CAVEPOTHOLE FTERI

Chronicle of discovery: Shepherd of our region had spoken for the existence of hole that removed air. It had placed him between the cavern in the street and the hypertext of fire guardhouse. After research in the region was found the opening in front of a plant named Fteri. Then they followed four missions with members of Greek Speleogical Society,aiming at the exploration, mapping and photographing of cavern.The cavepothole Fteri has biggest known depth -70 metres and is developed mainly in three levels. The entry is little narrow and the visitor should it is careful because the rocks precisely from under are unsound. In the first level exist traces stone.From this level they begin two downshifts the one to room *1 and the other that leads to the second and continuity third level. In the second level exists elongated room with tall earthy hill in her centre. In the end of room and after a very narrow passage through it begins downshift (roughly 45 m.) from which also we lead to the last level. There we meet big downhill room with decor in the walls and earth/mud in the soil.

A beautiful vertical pothole was explored and recorded in Valtesiniko Arkadias(Pelloponisos).The entrance of it,is enough narrow because the had thrown big blocks of stone over it.The descent is 52 metres and the light from one hole makes incredible games inside the cave.
