Abstract

This paper aims at presenting Ioannis Petrocheilos’ “works and days” and the speleological research on the island of Kythera, Greece, from 1930 to 1960. Ioannis Petrocheilos was born on Kythera and conducted the first speleological research in the area in the early 30’s. Within 20 years Petrocheilos explored and studied more than 20 caves on the island with a specific and precise methodology. All his notes and data from that period survived in the archives of the Hellenic Speleological Society. Within the framework of the Cerigo Speleological Project we studied the history and the chronicles of that period in order to shed light on the beginning of Greek Speleology.
