large and famous family of resistance fighters originally from Chora Sfakion.\u00a0 Their sheep, having spent the summer at Omalos, were stabled here over winter, along with flocks and herds from other families, where the cave&#8217;s position was high enough to act as security against thieves.\u00a0 Outside the cave was a milking area where cheeses such as graviera, mizithra and athotiros were produced.\u00a0 Shepherds slept inside the cave on beds made from stones and soil, with mattresses filled with a soft sage-like plant called &#8216;kalokoimithia&#8217; which means &#8216;good sleep&#8217;, and scattered fresh herbs on the beds when their wives came to visit &#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We spent an absorbing half hour here before, with rain imminent, we made our way back
