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.
