Geological phenomene of Katavothres
Here the sea water reaches subterranean wells in a mysterious fashion and after travelling 17 kilometres underground comes to the surface at the other end of the island first near the lake Melissani and then at the village Karavomylos
underground lake & cave of Melissani
This prodigy of nature is located two kilometres away from town of Sami. Nature here has done wonders and created a magnificent lake in an underground cave adorned with stalactites and stalagmites which are nearly 20,000 years-old. The cave ceiling collapsed following an earthquake, and sun beams penetrating the water through the opening light it up in a captivating display of shades of blue. Embarking on a brief boat journey across the underground lake, you seem to come to a fairy land and travel through time to the world of ancient nymphs and god Pan.
