The Cave of Chiron the Centaur

The cave covers over 1,000 square meters and reaches a height of 10-15 meters which made it suitable for human habitation. Indeed evidence of the presence of people dating back thousands of year have been found. 

In front of it there is a ledge which serves as a courtyard and a small opening which is hidden by pomegranates trees.
