PYGMY ELEPHANTS - CHALKADIO CAVE

The last pygmy elephants in Europe, with a height of 120-150 cm, lived in Tilos thousands of years ago and disappeared 3700 years ago. Their bones were randomly detected by N. Simeonidis, professor of paleontology. Deers', turtles' and small animals' fossils were also found in Chalkadio Cave, as well as fragments of tusks, that probably were used as tools. At Megalo Chorio there is a paleontological museum. The exhibition is located in a place under the Town Hall. Chalkadio Cave is not open to visitors. However, a small amphitheatre just beneath the cave is usually used as a theater or for concerts.

TILOS' PATHS

If you like mountain hiking, walking and exploring new places through paths, Tilos is the right place.

Although Tilos is mostly known for its beautiful beaches and its clear water, it also has distant sites where you can find small old chapels and castles.

There is also another abandoned village called Gera, at the eastern side of the island, about 3 km from Antoniadi Rooms, 4 km from the port. Its natural beauty is indescribable.
