Welcome to the enchanting Melissani Lake, often called the 'Cave of the Nymphs,' a true jewel of Kefalonia! This unique geological phenomenon is an absolute must-see. We'll descend into this underground marvel, where a collapsed section of the cave roof allows sunlight to stream in, illuminating the crystal-clear, brackish waters in breathtaking shades of turquoise and deep blue.
As we glide across the lake in traditional rowboats, you'll be mesmerized by the interplay of light and shadow, creating an almost ethereal glow. Our local boatmen will share fascinating insights into the cave's history and geology, including the ancient stalactites formed over thousands of years. You'll also hear the poignant myth of the nymph Melissani, who, according to legend, drowned here out of unrequited love for the god Pan – a tale supported by archaeological finds of ancient artifacts.

Karavomylos Lake is a unique natural phenomenon located near the village of Karavomylos on the island of Kefalonia. It's a small, brackish lake directly connected to the underground current that originates from the Katavothres sinkholes on the opposite side of the island, near Argostoli. This geological marvel means that seawater from the Ionian Sea enters Katavothres, travels thousands of meters underground, mixes with freshwater, and then re-emerges in Karavomylos Lake before flowing into the sea.
The lake itself is a tranquil spot. Its crystal-clear waters allow visitors to observe various fish and the fascinating phenomenon of the water bubbling up from the earth. A watermill, which historically utilized the lake's outflow, adds to its picturesque charm. Ducks and swans often glide gracefully across its surface, enhancing the serene atmosphere.Karavomylos Lake serves as a testament to Kefalonia's remarkable geological landscape and is a popular, albeit peaceful, tourist attraction.
