The Akousmatikoi Cave is a cave located within Devotee's Sanctuary, northwest of the Heraion on the Greek island of Samos.
During the Peloponnesian War, the cave served as a hideout for a group of Followers of Ares, who worshipped the Greek god of war there. The Spartan misthios Kassandra visited the cave, eliminating the Followers of Ares and claiming their valuables.[1]

They discovered that Persia was planning an invasion of Samos and was being backed by either Mestor.[3]
