3The Cave of Melissani, Kefalonia – Nymphs of the Lake

The Cave of Melissani on the island of Kefalonia is tied to myths of nymphs. According to legend, the nymph Melissani drowned herself here after being rejected by the god Pan.

The cave contains a striking underground lake, where light beams through the collapsed roof, illuminating the turquoise waters. A boat ride through Melissani is both enchanting and otherworldly, making it easy to believe in nymphs lingering in its depths.
