The cave of Perama is located about 4Km from the town of Ioannina, on the road to Metsovo. It is one of the most spectacular horizontal caves in Europe and it was formed about 1.5 million years ago. It was discovered in 1940 by a local resident looking for shelter from aerial bombardments during the Greek-Italian war.

The cave is the largest in Greece with an area of 15,000 square meters. The visitor's route is 1.5Km long and takes about 45 minutes. Unfortunately, the cave lighting was not designed well and the intense yellow lights used don't allow the visitor to distinguish the natural colors of the stalactite and stalagmite formations, everything looks yellow. Nevertheless, visitors are rewarded with spectacular views. The temperature inside the cave remains at 18°C/64°F throughout the year. Tickets cost 7 Euro for adults and 3 Euro for kids.
