Drogarati Cave

Kefalonia's Drogarati Cave was found 300 years ago and opened to the public in 1963. It was discovered after a big earthquake caused the cave's entrance to collapse. Drogarati is a spectacular cave with amazing stalactite and stalagmite structures. This cave, according to speleologists, is roughly 150 million years old and represents a remarkable geological phenomena. The cave is roughly 60 meters deep and maintains a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. The cave's humidity is high. This is a great opportunity to take beautiful photographs, that you will treasure forever!

Melissani Cave

Beautiful and fascinating, Melissani Lake is one of the most stunning highlights of Kefalonia. In the Lake Melissani, you buy the ticket (not included in the price). By boat you will be taken around the lake to the closed part of the cave (approx 30 minutes), passing the islet where the excavations had taken place. At the walls, there are Stalactites and flowstones with bizarre shaping, some with a resemblance to dolphins, as the boatman will point out, dolphins play a role in mythology. The lake of Melissani has not yet revealed all its secrets. The water is brackish as many springs supply the lake cave. One of them is the source "Katavothres" which is located on the other side of the island near Argostoli. Part of the cave’s roof collapsed a few thousand years ago due to an earthquake. The daylight falls through this opening, showing the colour of the lake in its deep blue sea

KOUTAVOS LAGOON ARGOSTOLI (pass by)

The Koutavos Lagoon is an excellent nature reserve for wildlife, including the Caretta Caretta turtle and other birdlife. It is located near the head of Argostoli Bay. The town's greatest park is a shady forest of eucalyptus and pine trees that may be reached by walking or cycling along the wide trail that round the lagoon from the harbour front. Until the Drepano Bridge was built in 1813 to ease access to Argostoli from the settlements across the bay, the lagoon was an almost impassable bog filled with mosquitoes and malaria. A small islet in the lagoon's center is off-limits to visitors because it serves as a nesting and feeding area for waterfowl. The Koutavos Lagoon is located near the mouth of the Argostoli Bay.
