In the area of Vatses we find one of the island’s three caves (the other two are the cave of the Dragon at Vathy and the cave of Panagia Poulariani in Analipsi). It is called ‘the Nigger’s Grotto’ and it has beautiful stalagmites and stalactites.
According to legends and traditions of the area, the grotto is connected to various myths about pirates and hidden treasures.
