The cave did not initially have a passage to the outside of the mountain. The inside of the cave was discovered by the ancient Greeks when they painted the mountain to produce the Pentelic marble. In antiquity there was a sanctuary of Panos, while during Byzantine times it was a monastery retreat that had been installed almost all over Penteli, the so-called "Ammon", from where it was named. In the modern times, during the tradition, it is reported to have been the hiding place of the obstetrician Davele, from which the most famous name of the cave, although it never proved this.
I decided to go and discover this cave and get to know the nature of the mountain!
