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.

    Very helpful and quick response to questions while booking. Friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide-Katherine. If you get motion sick, I would recommend taking something before getting on the bus as the winding roads/lots of stops/starts can be a little triggering. Mackey the driver did a phenomenal job navigating the tight roads.

    This tour was a 10/10 for me and my husband, and we didn’t even get to make it to Melassani. Our day was amazing and our tour guide Kathryn and the driver was Mackie (hope I’m spelling those names right) Kathryn was great and had so much fun to tell us about the island. We had an amazing time even though Melassani didn’t work out they gave us a partial refund for it. They were also very aware of the timing because we came from a cruise so they made sure to get us back to the port in time! Book this tour, you won’t regret it!
