Kastania Cave

One of the most impressive caves of Greece can be found near the village of Kastania on the southern tip of the Peloponnese, just minutes away from Neapoli. The route follows the winding mountain road leading to the forest-covered eastern slopes of Mt. Parnon. Rich in density and variety of shapes, colors and figures, Kastania Cave is classified as second of its kind in Europe. Nature needed three million years to create this fantasyscape with its unparalleled decor and numerous impressive formations such as enormous red and white "waterfalls", the gigantic columns, the "curtains" and the "sheets" that overflow like waxwork from the roof, "octopuses" and "corals" nest, "elephants" and "mushrooms", "birds" and caricatures, "exotic plants" and monumental creatures... Standing out among the numerous attractions of the cave are geological rarities such as discs, flat stalagmites, eccentrites and elictites. With a little luck, visitors may meet the cave's noble resident insect, the deaf and blind dolichopoda. The cave's surface covers 1,500 square meters separated into two levels and the visitor is guided along a 500-meter route. The cave was formed from limestones of Jurassic age (195-145 million years old) as a result of geological turmoil and chemical reaction. The stone decor owes its seven-color palette to crystalline carbonate lime enriched with several metal oxides. A cafe operates right outside the cave and nearby is the old church of St. Andrew, scarred by pirates and conquerors

Well worth the drive up some very steep hills to visit this. The cave is visually stunning with some incredible formations of both Stalactites & Stalagmites in various brown reddish orange colours. The guide is well informed and willing to answer any questions posed.

Caves of Diros

A large underground network of caves full of strangely shaped rock formations.

Reviewed By JohnV801 - Athens, Greece

One of the most beautiful caves I have visited. To start off with the facilities were very well kept, very clean and all Covid measures adhered to. The sheer beauty we encountered during the short boat ride and walk through the cave was really something else. We dwarfed in comparison to the age and beauty of this phenomenon. Stalactites and stalagmites dating back ages in colors of nature that no human hand could achieve. Well worth the trip.

Cape Tainaron

Reviewed By bluelizard

Great 2km walk from car park to the lighthouse located on the southernmost part of mainland Greece. A beautiful spot with stunning views in all directions. No facilities and limited shade so take plenty of water and a hat during hot weather. Path is rugged so wear good shoes, no flip flops! Plenty of parking at the start with a taverna close by. 2 small coves nearby if you fancy a refreshing dip after your walk, one you pass at the start of the walk, the other is to the rear of the sanctuary. Watch out for nibbling fish! The sanctuary was peaceful, we ate our picnic inside the small space as it was the only shade. Unfortunately we didn't find the gate to Hades but did find the mosaics, easy to miss if you're watching where you're walking. They're above the bay on the way to the lighthouse, and are easier to spot on your way back. Once you look at the area properly, you can make out foundations of ancient buildings. Still blows my mind! One of the highlights on this trip.
