The cave is shaped like a B and a part of the roof has collapsed about three thousand years ago.  Steps and a manmade tunnel lead down to the cave and small boats take you around the lake to admire the wonderful colors of the lake. Ancient artifacts from the 3rd & 4th century BC have been found in the cave.
