It's been up-graded to municipality of Alistrati with the "Kapodistrias" law and included the villages :Agioxori, Skopia, Mandili, Lefkothea and R.S of Aggista.

Alistrati was built on hills of the mountain range Menoikio on an altitude of 325 m. It's been up-graded to municipality of Alistrati with the "Kapodistrias" law and included the villages: Agiochori, Skopia, Mandili, Lefkothea and R.S of Aggista.

[6] Alistrati is mentioned in 1460 in a manuscript of the holy Convent of Ikosifissa Pageo as a small town.

According to the Greek Mythology, the Sphinx was appearing near the ravine of Aggitis river in the area of "Petroto".

It's also been said that Pluto, master of Hades, when he had kidnapped Persephone, daughter of goddess Demeter led her to the ravine where it's believed that there were the Gates of the Underworld.

The specific area which is mentioned in these Greek Myths is the same one near the Alistrati's Caves.

It's from this point that start different high galleries folly decorated with stalactites and stalagmites.

Very impressive is the big variety of stalactites and stalagmites inside the cave mostly because of the difference of their shapes and their age.
