The Dersios Sinkhole (Greek: Σπηλαιοκαταβόθρα Δέρσιος Spilaiokatavothra Dersios), also with the e accented (-164 m) has been known since antiquity and is located towards the north end of the plateau of Palaiochora at a height of 750 m above sea level on mount Parnon. It is about 45 minutes on unsurfaced road from the nearest town of Tyrosapounakeika in the Kynouria region of the Arcadia Prefecture. The sinkhole was first explored in August 1974 to a depth of -81 m by a French team (in collaboration with the Hellenic Speleological Society). Since 2003, SELAS caving club in Greece has been exploring the cave.
