General info: 

The legend says that a man called Xoroi came from the sea and found refuge in this cave. Soon after his arrival robberies started to happen in the area. Also a bride was stolen. One day the villagers found Xoroi and the woman from the cave. Surrounded and powerless, Xoroi decided to jump to his death and the woman returned to the village.

That was the leged of Xoroi in short. Today the cave serves as a panorama coctailbar&disco. The cave is carved almost on top of the tall cliff and provides an unbelievable view from the cave to the open ocean. The bar offers a selection of cocktails, ambient music in the evening and breathtaking views.

Day: from 11’30h to 16’30h.
Chillout session: from 17’00h to 21’30h
Night: Starts at 23:00

Getting there: 

There is parking lot on top of the cliff just next to the cave.

Costs: 

The entrance fee is around 15€ including one drink.
