Blue Grotto

Reviewed By bobj378 - London, United Kingdom

We went with Kastellorizo cruises Barbara Boat and we had Captain George at the helm who showed us all the sights before and after we visited the blue grotto, which has to be the best in the Mediterranean and we were lucky enough to see a seal in the grotto.

Cave of Alistrati

The Cave of Alistrati near the town of Serres is considered one of the largest and most beautiful caves not only of Greece but of Europe. The total length of its passages is approximately 3 km, of which 1 km is accessible by the disabled. According to Greek mythology, the Sphinx made her appearance at the position "Petroto" of the Gorge of Aggites that traverses the Alistratis area. Myth also mentions Pluto,the god of the Underworld; when he kidnapped Persephone, the daughter of goddess Demeter, he brought her to this natural ravine where a Gate to the Underworld existed. The area that mythology mentions is situated near the touristic site of the Cave of Alistrati; this area also features a few other caves. At a distance of 250m from the south side of the cave's entrance, one finds the railway tracks connecting Serres to the town of Drama.

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.

Perama Cave

Reviewed By 15westniner - London, United Kingdom

These caves are outstanding and well worth a visit. We were fortunate in arriving shortly after a tour had set off so were able to catch them up. No photography allowed but I’m not sure a camera could capture the sheer scale of the caves. The tour guide explained everything in Greek and then in English so very helpful for us. The caves are cleverly lit and whilst there are lots of steps the walkways are well laid out and easy to negotiate. An absolute must to visit if you are in the area, you cannot help but be filled with a sense of awe and amazement.

Did this on the way back from the Shipwreck, seen on here to book a small boat, which was absolutely true, we used Alykes VIP boats, the caves are beautiful and our captain manoeuvred into the smallest of the caves, whilst the bigger boats just slow down and sail past!!

Cave of Dragon (Spilia tou drakou)

Reviewed By ChrisNokkentved - Espergaerde, Denmark

We read about this attraction and made it a high point of our visit in the historic part of Kastoria. The cave was an experience as speleologists have made it safe and accessible to the public. Inside the lighting enriches the experience of the incredible cascading stalactites and stalagmites with small ponds bringing color in the calcium palace. A guiding audio system guides and highlights in some parts of the cave. Only drawback was that quests have limited time as our exhalations and CO2 destroys the interior. So take some flashless photos fast
