Melissani Cave Lake

Beautiful cave with a lake in it. €10 for adults, half that for kids, can get very busy if you're not there in the morning. It's only a very short boat ride in the cave, I'm not sure I'd drive over an hour just for this alone...

This is just pure beauty. The water are sparkling blue and you can see all the way to the bottom, when the sunlight is shining down the hole you can see the straight line sunbeams, the boats are comfortable and the men (didn't see any women the day we went) have a laugh with the people they are rowing out and once you have been inside the cave and back out they will stop rowing and take and pictures of people that's wanted. A truly magical place. The queue time is long because of how popular the Lake is. They provided some gazebos for shade, but still lots of uncovered parts, definitely recommend taking water, hat and glasses. If you go as a group or pair, take it in turns with one person staying in the queue and the rest finding shade nearby.

Beautiful cave with clear, natural water inside. Sunlight shines through from the top, creating a truly unique experience. The entrance fee includes a short boat trip of around ten minutes, plus a waiting time of about twenty to thirty minutes. The rowers are friendly, provide a few details about the cave, take pictures, and entertain with singing during the ride.

We visited on a Friday in June, we arrived at about 9.30am there was a short queue to purchase the tickets (10 euro per adult and 5 euro for children aged 16 or under). We got straight onto a boat and enjoyed the experience and this natural phenomenon. The water is crystal clear. The guys that row the boats are great fun and knowledgeable. A tip from my husband who had his prescription sunglasses on (take your normal glasses so you can see the cave better).

Worth a visit, but beware, it's €10 per adult, it can be a long wait and you're only in the attraction for about 10 minutes. However, it is an amazing thing to see. The boatman gives lots of information about the cave. Best time to visit is between 11am and 1pm when the sun shines in the top.

Simply stunning and a must visit if you are on the island. The guides are so knowledgeable and explain the history of the cave, where the water comes from and even points fish and eels as they see them. Well worth the 10euro entry price. Plenty of free parking above ground and a toilet along with shop and small cafe.

If you have the chance, definitely go and see this cave, it’s absolutely heavenly! We did a short boat ride inside, around 10 minutes, but honestly, after just 2 minutes it already felt like time was flying, I didn’t even have the chance to fully take it all in! The gentleman who rowed the boat made the whole experience even more magical he was kind, attentive, and definitely deserved a tip. When we got on the boat, he took pictures of everyone and these weren’t just rushed snapshots, he really put effort into it, and the photos turned out amazing. I can’t even describe how beautiful the cave was it left me speechless. And as we went deeper inside, the inner parts of the cave were just as breathtaking. Don’t miss it! We visited on a Tuesday morning 10-11 a.m, and although there were lots of people arriving by bus and we waited around 30–45 minutes, it was 100% worth it.

It's a short boat ride (10 min), interesting to see and our guide was great. Informative. Shop at the end is good value IE Tuna sandwich €4. Would have been annoying if I'd have to wait for the line 30mins as it can be
