Our tickets were for a tour between 14:00 and 15:00, so arriving at just after 12:00 wasn't a problem and we could join in with the next tour going.
The first part of the tour is on a boat, with 6 persons plus the guide on each vessel. We spent about 25 mins on the water working our way through a maze of tunnels, ducking and weaving the overhanging stalactites and sheet limestone formations. The cave we entered was called VLYCHADA, and was discovered by locals around 1900. By 1960, 1,600 metres of the cave had been mapped, to date 14,700 metres has been mapped. The largest part of the cave is below water level, maximum depth is 80 metres. It is ranked as being the 3rd most beautiful cave in the world. After personally visiting lots of caves in many countries over the years, we personally think this is too big a statement.
Certainly a great visit to the cave and worth the trip to see it. We stopped off at Aeropoli for a lunch stop before we headed to Sparti, our overnight stop.
Can’t believe with all its history that all that is left of SPARTA is ruins very disappointing. In fact most important/historic cities in greece are ruins ie olympia delphi etc.NICE CAVES but don’t forget the blue grotto on isle of capri
You cannot leave us dangling with your list of the most beautiful caves you and Tania have visited.
A caves a cave in my opinion but Im pretty sure I have never boated around in cave. That looks like fun.
