Charkadio Cave

It is located at Messaria 2.5 km. southeast  of Megalo Chorio. It has a 21 m. diameter, a maximum height of 4.5 m., and covers an area of 200 m² , separated into two unequal chambers by a stalagmite. Paleontological excavations carried out in the 1970s revealed numerous bones of dwarf elephants and other animals (deer, turtles, rodents) and stone tools of the Neolithic period (8000 BC). Chardakio Cave hides other secrets: Volcanic material and at least two zones with phosphorus compounds that lead to fossilized bones have been found in deeper layers.

Mikro Chorio

This is a ghost village located next to the main road that connects Megalo Chorio with Livadia. Before the war, Mikro Chorio was not that small and had over 750 permanent residents. However, the population started decreasing when people started moving to Rhodes, Athens, Australia and America. Those who stayed behind moved to Livadia. From the 220 houses of the settlement only the walls are preserved nowadays. At the top of the hill you will find the remains of a medieval tower which also offers a beautiful, panoramic view of the settlement.
