Additional Information

Embark on a half-day expedition to explore the island’s most renowned natural attractions.

Delve into the Drogarati cave that is adorned with incredible stalactite and stalagmite formations. This awe-inspiring cavern, discovered approximately 300 years ago, has been open to visitors since 1963. Its superior acoustics have facilitated numerous concerts, including a performance by the illustrious opera singer Maria Callas.

Board a boat to venture into Melissani, also known as the Lake of the Nymphs. This picturesque cave-lake reveals a miraculous display of sunlight illuminating the aquamarine, clear waters. It signifies a unique geological event where seawater vanishes into swallow holes near Argostoli, only to resurface after 15 days as backwater in the cave’s lake, sitting 30cm above sea level. The cave, resembling the letter B, underwent a partial roof collapse around three millennia ago.
