The cave of Eratira (known as ‘’Tripa’’) is located at the eastern part of the village, in the place of ‘’Alepotripes’’. The mountain is full of small or big caves and holes, big carves which were created by the break down of the caves’ tops.

The accumulated aspens which literally surrounded the village are extremely beautiful. The new dam of Sisani gave the area a breathtaking artificial lake.
