Melissani Cave Lake

Awesome experience, friendly, knowledgeable staff who were happy to take a few photos of us at the end too. Short experience, I more than 6-8 minutes in the boat but it was well worth it for the €30 (2 adults & 2 kids). Plenty of free parking too.

Well that was great, it really is only a 15 min trip on a boat. That takes you in to the wide open space that is the cave it stunning but before you know it, it all over. Worth a visit but.....look at my pictures, lovely!

A great experience, good value for money and knowledgeable, fun tour guides on the boats. We paid €10 each which worked out to about £6 each. The tour was by boat and it was astonishing how Crystal clear the water is even though its tens of metres deep! The tour lasted approximately 20 minutes and our boat guide was very knowledgeable, spoke very good English, and was a laugh as well. Will definitely go again when we come back to Kefalonia!

😍 Beautiful. Huge parking, plenty for everybody. Queue is very long, at least 30 minutes waiting..but there is this nice big souvenirs shop you can check out. The cave and the lake are awesome! 🤩😍🥰The story about the underground river and the depth of the lake, cristal clear: unexpectedly and beautiful!

Queues aside (expected in July) this is a lovely place to visit even if it only lasts 10 minutes once inside. The water is magical, especially around midday as the sun shines directly onto the cave creating magical effects in the water. It's also lovely and cool inside, giving a short respite from the heat outside.

The lake is very pretty, Yeah you aren't there long but its also not a very big lake! There's ample opportunity for photos - we went just after it had rained and missed all the queue and the sun popped out and the water went its trademark turquoise. I can imagine it gets very busy at peak times, but I'd recommend!

First, the parking is free and everyone is looking for a place to park in the shade. Overall, there is no parking problem. The line is quite long when we arrived at about 1:00 PM. It took us about an hour to slowly get to the boat. you can buy tickets at the line, so not necessarily to buy in advance. Two conclusions, one is to arrive at 4:00 PM, which is when we finished and there was no line at all. Second, when you get back on the boat, smile. At first, we didn't understand why everyone who got on didn't smile. When we got off, we realized that the climb is steep and you get off quickly, so there is no fresh air 😅. Overall, the boat ride was nice, the guy who rowed was pleasant and friendly. The water is clear and the place is very beautiful for a 10-minute 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).
