Katafyki (Greek: Σπήλαιο Καταφύκι) is a cave located in Dryopida on the island of Kythnos in the Cyclades.
It also bears the name "Giorgos Martinos Cave" in honor of the geologist who studied it.
[2] More than 600 meters of the natural cave have been mapped, which, having served as a mine, has a 2000-metre-long man-made gallery.
Long tunnels have been formed in the cave due to the flow of water from a torrent.
Iron mining in modern times lasted from 1835 to 1940, while after 1910 exploitation was carried out by foreign companies.
