Delve into the heart of the island's geological history as you explore Drogarati Cave. This ancient masterpiece boasts impressive stalactite formations that have evolved over millions of years. The cave's acoustics are legendary, and you may find yourself enchanted by the echoes of your own footsteps or the occasional drip of water, creating an otherworldly ambiance.

The adventure continues at Melissani Lake, where you'll board a boat to traverse the underground marvel. As you glide over the crystal-clear turquoise waters, sunlight pierces through the collapsed cave roof, casting an ethereal glow on the ancient stalactites and stalagmites that adorn the subterranean chamber.

Pause and breathe in the breathtaking beauty as we make a captivating photo stop above Myrtos Beach.

    Heads up the Drogarati Cave has lots of steps if you go down you have to come back up. Nonetheless it was amazing. Melissani Lake is easier. Once in the boat the experience is stunning.
