Who we are, where we come from, and why we work between Greece and Italy.
Αινείας-Enea was founded in Rhodes as a non-profit association for speleological research and for the conservation and promotion of the karst and underground environment. We work together with local authorities, universities and speleological associations in Greece and Italy, with particular attention to the exchange of knowledge between the two countries.
Our field of work covers both natural caves and artificial cavities — aqueducts, mines, shelters, places of worship — of historical, cultural, social and anthropological interest. We study, explore and document, always with the goal of protecting what we find.
Αινείας-Enea is administered by a Diachiristís (manager) elected by the General Assembly of members for five years, according to the statute filed with the Greek General Commercial Registry (Γ.Ε.ΜΗ.). Members are divided into Taktiká (ordinary members, with voting rights) and Mi Taktiká (non-ordinary members).
