The Stalactites Studios are located by the famous Drogarati caves near Sami.

The cave of Drogarati was founded 300 years ago following a strong earthquake that caused the entrance you see today. Its height is 60m below the earth's surface, temperature 18￿C and moisture 90%.

The caves date back to more than 100 million years. Stalactites are the ones which come down from the ceiling to the floor whilst stalagmites do the opposite; they climb from floor to the ceiling. Stalactites are formed by the movement of rainwater which starts at ground-level and travels through the rocks above the cave, soaking up the mineral components of the rocks as it goes - iron, copper, salt, calcium and others. The water then reaches the end of a stalactite as droplets and dropping slowly from the tip, they help it to grow very slowly. The creation of just one centimetre takes 100 years. Due to the excellent sound effects that exist

Due to the excellent sound effects that exist inside the cave (an area of about 900 m2) concerts of classical and popular music take place comparable to ancient theatres.

About 5 kms away from the Stalactites Studios is another stunning cave - the subterranean lake-cave of Melisani which can be explored by small rowing boat.
