The water catacombs, were built at
the same time as the more well know Milos Catacombs, in the first century
AD, by pre-Christian Romans. Originally dug into the soft
cliff-face, they have been exposed by erosion, over the 1900 years since
they were dug. Each hole is one grave and some of the caves have
several. The door in the back of the cave) above the paddle of the
green kayak) leads to a chamber with 5 graves.
