Kefalonia
One of the first sights you have the opportunity to enjoy as soon as you reach the port of Sami, is the Cave in Melissani Lake. This is a rare geological phenomenon that features regularly on the lists of the best natural attractions in the world. The cave would not have been discovered if its roof, that is also part of the hill, had not been demolished by extreme weather conditions. Discovered in 1951, this is a cave of rare beauty with crystal clear waters that reach a depth of 40 meters.

Kastellorizo
Apart from its strategic location, the island is famous for its cosmopolitan aesthetics and the Blue Grotto.

The name "Blue Grotto" is of course inspired by the dazzling blue color of the waters under the reflection of the sun, while the name Fokiali comes from the seals (Fokia in Greek) that live around and find shelter there.
