According to the Greek Mythology, the Splinx was appearing near the ravine of Aggitis river in the area of “Petroto”

It’s also been said that Ploto, master of Hades, when he had kidnapped Persephon daughter of goddess Dimitra led her to the ravine where it’s believed that there were the Gates of the Underworld.

The specific area which is mentioned in these greek Myths is the same one near the Alistratis Cave

The Alistrati cave lies about 6 km southeast of the village of Alistrati at a place called “Petroto”. The expanse of the area is almost 14.000m2

At a distance of 250 km from the southern part of the entrance of the cave the railway line from Serres to Drama passes

Near the railway line and on the southern side of it is the Aggitis River.

As a result of the waterflow of the river the limestone layers of the mountain has been corroded and the ravine of Aggitis river has been shaped

The cave is placed 50km away from Serres, 25 km from Drama and 55 km from Kavala.

It is considered to be the most beautiful and most decorated cave in Greece and probably in Europe where nature revealed its power in creating ornaments and impressive rock formations.
