The caves were formed naturally centuries ago. In 1940, during the Italian war, they served as a refuge for the local people who seeked protection from bombardment.
In 1945 the first scientific exploration of the caves was carried out by a famous couple called Anna and Ioannis Petrohilos who had also explored some other famous caves in Greece.
The Perama cave falls into the category of horizontal caves and the length of its routes is 1km. Its overall size is 14,800m2.
