The bejewelled with stalagmites and stalactites Petralona Cave has been developed on the western side of the limestone Katsika mountain 700 m height and 300 m above sea level. The Cave was spotted in 1959 by the inhabitant of the Petralona village Philippos Chatzaridis and it became internationally known when the fossilized skull of Petralona man was found by a group of six men (three of them scientists), guided by another villager, Christos Sariannidis.
Among the fossils of the extinct species found in the Cave lions, hyenas, bears, panthers, elephants, rhinos, megacerines, bisons, and various species of dears and equids are included, as well as 25 species of birds, 16 species of rodents and 17 species of bats.
