The so-called “Cave” of Sylla, is located behind the EOT hydrotherapy center in Loutra Edipsos. It is a small cruciform building with a dome, from the Roman period, which has been covered by the sulfuric deposits of the waters of the area and gives the impression of a cave.Nevertheless, it is a temple that an American researcher says he saw covered by the deposits of the springs at the beginning of the 20th century. and named him Agios Enarios.

At the entrance are two oversized statue pedestals with honorary inscriptions to the emperors Hadrian and Septimius Severus, which were moved there much later, probably during the Byzantine period.Syllas was associated much later with this monument, because it was the only visible ancient relic of the area in the 19th century.
