Paleontological Collection
The Paleontological Collection of Tilos is of special interest. It presents the findings from the excavations of Charkadio Cave in the centre of the island, where ancient pieces of pottery, Neolithic tools and fossils of dwarf elephants were found. There are also drawings and photographs from the excavations, which were held in the 1970s by the professor of geology, Nikolaos Symeonides.
>> Sightseeing
The Medieval Castle is located on top of a steep mountain, right above Megalo Chorio. It was constructed by the Knights of Saint John and climbing up there is a difficult task.
Charkadio Cave is located in the centre of the island, about 2 km south of Megalo Chorio. This cave is of great paleontological importance, as this is where the first fossiled teeth of dwarf elephants were found. The findings are hosted in the Paleontological Collection in Megalo Chorio.
