Drogarati Cave, Sami, Greece

Kefalonia Sightseeing & Tours

This journey through nature's grandeur offers an unforgettable experience for those seeking to discover the region's awe-inspiring beauty.



Drogarati Cave boasts exceptional formations of stalactites and stalagmites, which were first revealed to the public in 1963. This majestic cavern has been celebrated for centuries due to its remarkable acoustic properties, making it ideal for numerous performances, including renowned opera singers such as Maria Callas. Visitors can take a serene boat ride through Melissani Lake, known as the "Lake of the Nymphs," where the sun's rays illuminate the crystal-clear waters in hues reminiscent of an ethereal turquoise.
