One of those natural marvels that no picture can do justice, Melissani Cave is a sparkling blue underground lake, lit from above by a cavity in the rock.
In Greek mythology Melissani was the Cave of the Nymphs, where the nymph Melissani drowned after being rejected by the god Pan.
During an archaeological survey in 1962 oil lamps and plates were found depicting Pan.
Your visit will be short but memorable as you row out onto the lake with a guide to see the stalactites and shafts of light streaking through the hole in the ceiling, illuminating the water.
