Oral|Mr Peter Delchev
Abstract
The Peninsula of Athos (Agion Oros) – Khalkidhiki Greece was systematically explored by the international project “The caves of Holy Mountain Athos”. In the period from 2011 - 2016 five consecutive expeditions have been carried.
After the last expedition in Athos the total number of the surveyed underground sites become 155 m with total length of about 2 km. The caves could be divided into three main categories - caves associated with the lives of Saints, cave chapels, caves-cells, usual and sea caves and artificial caves (water catchments and reservoirs).The exploration of the Athos caves is still going.
