A large German artillery bunker can be found on the road leading to the village of Agia Galini, created in the excavated soft rock. This World War II relic is not only impressive due to its size, but also due to its good condition. It is noted that both the metal door and the shield of the gun are preserved. The Artillery Bunker consists of a fairly spacious, elongated hall with a vaulted ceiling, as well as a stone staircase, which leads to the escape exit located at the highest point of the rock through an arcade of more than 20 meters.
