Go spelunking at Melissani Cave
Top 3 in Top 16 Best Things to Do in Greece
Located near Karavomilo is Melissani Cave which is a craggy cave known for its beauty. Also known as the Cave of Nymphs, this sea cave will make you feel like you’re out of this world altogether. The cave is almost 4 kilometers long and was formed when water eroded the soft rocks over the centuries.
Inside the cave is the equally famous Melissani Lake, an underground body of water that was discovered in 1951. In ancient times the cave was dedicated to the Nymph Melissani who gave the cave its name.
You can take a tunnel down into the cave before boarding a boat and gliding through the lake's azure waters. Take a boat tour through the caves and be in awe of the gorgeous blue water as the sunshine filters through the cave's openings and chambers and causes the water to glitter enchanted. Don't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity pass you by.
Location: island of Kefalonia, northwest of Sami
