Additional Info
Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
This tour includes visits to natural caves with steps and uneven surfaces.
The boat ride inside Melissani Lake is shared with other visitors and lasts approximately 10–15 minutes.
Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Total driving time during the tour is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
For guests selecting a pick-up outside Argostoli, the additional transfer time to and from the starting point is not included in the tour duration and will be added to the overall experience.
During the peak summer months of July and August, and especially on days when multiple cruise ships arrive at Argostoli Port, the caves can become extremely busy. This may result in longer waiting times and queues at the entrances, even with our best efforts to organize the visit efficiently and minimize delays.
Please note that visitors flow at the caves are managed by the site authorities
