Kastria Cave of the Lakes

Our driver will meet you in Kalavryta to continue the tour at the mysterious, magnificent, and unique "Cave of the Lakes," a rare creation of nature. Inside, you’ll find a total of 13 small and large lakes, each displaying different colors depending on the oxides present in the rocks.You will see the stunning "hanging bridge" and the "waterfalls" cascading through the cave, giving you the sensation of walking along a floating corridor. You'll also admire the unusual stalactite formations. In winter, when the snow melts, the cave transforms into a subterranean river with natural waterfalls. The explored length of the cave is 1,980 meters, with 500 meters currently developed for visitors.The exploration begins through an artificial tunnel that leads you directly to the second floor, where the views are truly awe-inspiring. The passage between the lakes is made by elevated artificial bridges. After the cave tour, we will make a stop for lunch in the picturesque village of Kalavryta.
