Petralona Cave

This huge cave is hidden in the Mount Katsika, that on the peninsula of Halkidiki, and it attracts enthusiastic travelers. The best scientists can lose all their assurance in this place, because here you can see things, which were known before only from the pages of books. Some of them admire the amazing beauty of stalactites hanging from the ceiling and the stalagmites. The others do not get tired of exploring the contents of the cave itself. After all, the discovery was made in Petralon, which literally aroused the peaceful beehive of paleontologist scientists. In 1960 there was found the skull, which appeared to be an artifact with the age of 700 000 years!
The find was the skull of an archanthropus, but it was far from being a primitive species, stuck halfway from monkey to man. The Archanthropus had intelligence close to Homo Sapiens. But at the same time he is also the most ancient human being on the European continent. 
The Petralona will be a great idea for family vacations, because it for sure would be attractive for both parents and kids. Among the amazing relief of the cave tunnel stretching for 2 kilometers, pictures of prehistoric life come out of the darkness. In the mysterious light of the cave illumination, silent animals and wild beasts, wild predators and ancient birds froze in silent sculptures. After all, for thousands of years, the cave has sheltered in its bowels many living beings.
There is the Anthropological Museum at the entrance to the Petralona cave, which opens its doors to everyone interested in an even more detailed study of the past of mankind. All the finds of the Petralonacave, the peninsula of Halkidiki and the whole of Greece are carefully collected and are shown here.
