Cave or Rock Shelter in Greek Islands (Aegean etc). Spileo Stalaktiton (Stalactite Cave) is a very famous cave on the Agios Ioannis ridge on the island of Antiparos, west of Paros, in the Cyclades islands.

A car ferry takes you across from the coast south of Paros town, at a place called Pounta. The crossing takes 10 - 15 minutes. Here is some additional info on the cave from Antiparos' own web site. And here's a Norwegian web site in English.
