On the northeastern slopes of Vigla and at a distance of 350 m from the sea, there is a remarkable unexplored cave known as "Mavri Trypa" (the Black Hole). The cave lies in Eocene and Palaeocene limestone. Passing through the cave is extremely difficult. The place that the bold explorer can reach is the gallery which is split into smaller chambers. The sight of stalactites and stalagmites is spectacular. Coarse unpainted pottery dating to pre-historic times have been discoverd. The cave is of Archaeological, Geological and Touristic interest.
