The Milatos Cave
The Milatos Cave
Near the village is the Milatos Cave which has eight entrances and is more a series of caverns than one cave. In 1823, the army of Turkish General Hasan trapped 2,700 men, women, and children in the cave and fifteen days later, after guaranteeing their safe passage out, the Turkish forces killed all the men and sold the women and children into slavery in Egypt. Later, the bones that remained were gathered together in a monument to the fallen heroes.
