Caves of Diros

Absolutely amazing. The cave colors were breathtaking. The trip began with a walk to the cave entrance. We were provided with life jackets and entered a row boat. After the boat reached its destination, we continued on foot. The trip takes 15 min end to end. However, once the foot portion begins, you can take your time. We weren't rushed. The beach surrounding the caves is also beautiful. The water was calm and warm. A few clarifications, arrive early to get your tickets. Even though the cave ticket booth opens at 9 a.m., people start arriving around 8:30. Also, the green light for ticket sales begins once the ship captains confirm the water level. As such, I don't recommend buying your ticket earlier because what you buy may not be tide appropriate. Once you buy your tickets, you can drive to the cave's entrance. There is a parking lot there, as well as a snack bar and washrooms.

Pretty amazing, small boat ride through the cave complex. It's a 300m boat ride then a walk through the caves and a few hundred metres walk back to the entrance. It's a strange set up with the ticket sales at one kiosk, then you drive and park your car and walk to the canteen entrance which is a few hundred metres away. Common sense would have the ticket sales down where you enter the caves complex. It's a little touristy but pretty amazing.

Very beautiful and above all large stalactite cave. It was very interesting to walk through it. Stalagmites and stalagmites in all shapes and sizes. The cave is well lit. At the end of the path you can see the underground landing stage for the boats. The combined tour, which starts with the boat trip and then turns into the land tour, is certainly much more interesting and recommended. Unfortunately, we were unable to do this on this day as the boats were not available. Unfortunately, the information was not available on the website and online booking was also not possible. Therefore one star deduction. There are free parking spaces both at the top at the ticket store and a few below directly at the cave. Another little tip, on the opposite side is a nice little beach, 7 minutes away by car, highly recommended. Not to be confused with the small beach right next to the stalactite cave.

Often mentioned but disappointing. The visit is very short and purely touristic: just a few minutes by boat, with fast circuits clearly designed to avoid queues and maximize turnover. Though presented as ancient and fragile, boatmen push directly against the walls (strange), while the final 10-minute walking path is full of signs telling visitors not to touch anything. In the end: a rushed 20-minute visit for €68, with little real value. Far better to enjoy a peaceful lunch by the water in Geroliménas!

We visited the Diros Caves on our way from Corinth to the Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese. The drive to the site was beautiful, especially the descent from the highway. We waited about half an hour before starting the tour, which we did with a guide—essentially a private one, as it was just us and our three children. The guide’s explanations were engaging and full of amusing associations, finding shapes and characters in every stalactite, which made the experience both fun and entertaining. The kids really enjoyed it, and so did we. It’s a great stop along the way and a pleasant family experience. The cost for two adults and three children was about 20 euros—very reasonable. The tour lasted about an hour.

Unfortunately the long trip is not available in this period, the ticket office and the website are clear about it. The boat driver was explaining the tour only in Greek, no English so we didn't get any information about the caves, just watching and taking pictures. Not the best esperience for foreign tourists but the caves are cool.

Craziest cave I’ve ever seen after visiting caves across Asia and South America - the cave was huge with numerous limestone formations in their weirdest forms, surrounded by crystal clear waters; the boat ride ticket was totally worth the price as it lasted for a good 10 mins along with a short walk out of the cave to a beautiful coast full of flowers. Boat rides are organised as soon as there are 6 ppl so best to arrive in the afternoon to avoid waiting time for people to fill up the boat.

**A Must-Visit!** If you ever have the chance, you absolutely must visit the magnificent Diros Cave! It promises an unforgettable experience, especially if you're able to book a ticket for the enchanting boat tour. Gliding through the cave's crystal-clear waters, surrounded by stunning stalactites and stalagmites, feels like stepping into another world. The site is well-organized, offering plenty of parking spaces where you can conveniently leave your vehicle during the guided tour. The ticket price is €17 which is more than reasonable considering the magic that awaits you. The duration of the tour is approximately 40 minutes—just the right amount of time to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and wonder of this natural treasure.
