Itinerary
Drogarati Cave
Admission not included45 min
Drogarati cave lies in the same area as the famous Melissani lake, just 3 km outside Sami. It was discovered only 300 years ago when an earthquake destroyed part of the cave and thus created an entrance. Like Melissani cave, also Drogarati was explored by the speleologists Anna and Yiannis Petrochilos. They entered the cave with ropes and ladders.
Melissani Cave
Admission not included70 min
The Cave of Melissani in Kefalonia: Situated just outside Sami, the Cave of Melissani has a strange appeal. It is one of the most significant places for tourists to visit in Greece. Surprisingly, there is a lake inside the cave that has trees and forests surrounding it. The cave itself is B-shaped with two chambers or halls separated with land or an island in the center. The roof of one of the halls caved in centuries ago letting sunlight filter in. The depth of the lake is 20 to 30 meters. When the sun is right overhead at noon, the sunlight hitting the turquoise-blue waters create a magical illusion and the whole Cave of Melissani suddenly feels lit with blue light.
Myrtos Beach
15 min
Myrtos beach has gained worldwide reputation and has been constantly included in travel magazines among the best beaches in Greece and in the world. It has been awarded many times for its cleanness and the natural beauty.

Caves
A lot of buses, a lot of waiting… I advise people to go there on their own. Quick visits, 1/4 of an hour, no more, for the caves.
Operator response
Kalimera! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We do feel, however, that your review is a little unfair to us, as it focuses entirely on the long queues at the caves rather than on the services we provided. Unfortunately, the waiting time and the duration of the cave visit are managed by the cave authorities and are beyond our control. We always strive to offer the best possible experience and appreciate your understanding. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best.

The tour was absolutely...
The tour was absolutely perfect! We were picked up at the port, and we went straight to the caves. We had a driver(Dennis) and a guide(Thelki). Both were very nice and extremely knowledgeable! The tours of the caves were soooo cool!! Don’t miss it!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear you had such a great time and enjoyed the visit to the caves. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Dennis and Thelki – they’ll be thrilled! We hope to see you again soon for another unforgettable experience with us!
