The cave has taken the name of cave diver and explorer Luigi Casati who explored it in the late 1980’s with Jean Jacques Bolanz. It is one of several caves situated at Lake Vouliagmeni in Athens. It is a natural brackish lake with healing properties located in Vouliagmeni, Athens.

The waters come from over 100 meters depth and have a temperature of 22 ° C to 29 ° C, indicating that at some depth it communicates with the Aegean volcanic arc. The lake is also powered by a freshwater spring at a depth of 17 meters. The lake meets with an underground cave that communicates with the sea through various arcades. The lake is located on the southern tip of Ymittos, near the sea. It lies in an ellipsoidal cavity 260 meters long and 145 meters wide. The lake is half a meter above sea level and has been part of the Natura protected areas since 2000.

The lake was created when part of the roof of a large underground cave collapsed some 2,000 years ago due to erosion and tectonic movements, and therefore there are no references from antiquity, not even Pafsanias. The cave is located within the limestone rocks of the surrounding area. The explored length of the cave is 3,123 meters. There are 14 tunnels in the cave, and a large underwater stalagmite has been found. The bottom of the lake consists of a muddy substrate rich in sulfur compounds. The lake waters have an increased content of minerals and trace elements, such as potassium, sodium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, iron, chlorine and iodine. The water is recommended for rheumatic diseases, sports injuries, nervous system disorders, skin diseases and gynecological diseases.
