Greece<\/a>\u2019s Aggitis River Cave is one of the largest and most spectacular river caves<\/a> in all of Europe and is located near the city of Drama.<\/p>\n

The cave, whose name originates from the river which runs through it, is an elongated, naturally-formed tunnel which serves as the single outlet for the waters collected in the enclosed basin of Kato Nevrokopi.<\/p>\n

The ri\u03bder begins at the springs at Maara and crosses the western side of the lowlands after which the Philippi waters flow into it; the Aggitis then pours into the Strymon River and spans a length of 21 kilometers and a passage of 500m that ends at a siphon where visitors are able to experience the magic of this cave.<\/p>\n

To date, only 8.5 kilometers (about 5 miles)\u2014of which visitors can see 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles)\u2014have been explored.<\/p>\n
