Penteli Cave has always been a spiritual place. We know that the cave was used to worship Pan in ancient times and then was a refuge for Orthodox Christian hermits, who retreated to this remote location to spend their lives in quiet contemplation and prayer, away from the distractions of civilisation.
Civilisation caught the hermits and a church was built later in the Middle Ages.
Today it is thought people still come to the cave to practice strange occult rituals.
