Oxo Latsidi Cave

The Oxo Latsidi cave is is located just a few metres south of the carriage road. 

The entrance of the cave is situated at the junction where limestone and phyllites come together. The local residents were aware of the cave's presence and believed it extended for about 50 metres. 

The cave floor is scattered with numerous rocks, and as one explores further, they come across water basins and small shallow lakes in various areas. Drip flow is particularly notable in certain sections of the cave, adding to its unique characteristics.

In the past, the cave served as an active underground riverbed, but its current operation is limited and rudimentary.

The relative humidity of the air reaches 100%. This high humidity level can cause discomfort in breathing, making prolonged stays in the cave not advisable.
