Very simple, just a smallish lake underground, went there in the jeep last week, which we hired. We too got a singing boatman (the accoustics are better than in the shower!!!) and although the boats hold up to 14 people we were in our own boat with my sister and brother-in-law, just the four of us (& the boatman). Its naturally lit by the sky and it is bright turquois blue (no colouring in the water like they do in the fairgrounds up and down britain ha!) its a little natural wonder. Worth visiting if you have a car, we got out just in time though, as we were walking out 2 coach trips arived!! So glad we were there in that tranquil cave WITHOUT the herds of sightseers! Oh I just love Kefalonia... |

Another lovely place to visit, the tour cost 7 euros each and lasts about 10 minutes but it was worth it. Incredible underground lake and fantastic stalagmites and stalactites to see. My other half said the toilets were very clean too! |

went to the lake and found it very interesting you walk down a very steep tunnel and then you get on to a rowing boat.................the man in the boat was very friendly taking photos for the people on the boat, but it was a very short visit took about 8 minutes..................but it was spectacular if its a choice between the lake or the caves go to the lakes.......... |

| Kath, the lake is below ground and the ramp is quite steep ( I can't remember if there are steps or not ) and I do remember that there's only a rope type hand rail to hold on to. It's really beautiful, but not sure if it would be OK for hubby. You have to climb into the boats. Hope this helps.
I would say the same for the nearby caves too - they have very steep narrow steps. |

Kath -
There are some steps but most of the way down to the lake is down a carpeted underground slope. It is about 100 metres long maybe (If memory serves). The boats are rowboats so quite small, but our boatman was very helpful. It is worth it - I found the trip short but very sweet. The cave is gorgeous and the coolness is a great break from the heat. Our boatman was friendly and amazed me by leaping seamlessly between Italian, Greek and English!

 October 2006.We thought the caves were beautiful; the children were very disapointed as the trip lasted less than ten minutes. The boatman was too busy trying to impress us and the other boats with his singing rather than telling us anything interesting about the cave. |

Stunning - make sure you go on a sunny day and this is entirely worth the money! |

A lovely place. The only downside is that it's a short little ride and you just want to stay there looking at the scenery around you. The staff were friendly too. The man rowing the boat was nice, he was telling us about the lake, how deep it was and took photos for us. If you can only do the lake or the cave - do the lake! |
