Enter: The Melissani Cave in Greece

It’s not very often that you stumble upon crystal clear water in a cave that’s 3.5 km long, 40 meters wide and 36 meters high. Unless you’re exploring the deepsea caverns of Greece, that is…

Known as the Cave of the Nymphs, the mystical cave is mentioned in famous texts likeThe Odyssey and other myths.

Located in the island of Kefalonia in Greece, the cave shelters one of the clearest lakes in the world. Don’t believe us? Take a look and see for yourself…

Melissani Cave is located on the Greek island of Kefalonia. The cave is surrounded by forrest and the water is so clear it gives the illusion of a hovering boat. 📍: Kefalonia 🇬🇷 📸: @kyrenian . . . . . . #interrail #interrailplanner #interrailing #interrail2018 #eurotrip #travel #travelling #traveller #travels #travelgram #instatravel #igers #europa #europe #photoftheday #summer #summer2018 #beautiful #architecture #wanderlust #adventure #melissanicave #kefalonia #greece #melisani #ig_greece #ig_europe #views
