During a 40-min boat trip, you will come across an intricate network of passages and galleries . The guided tour into the cavern takes place by boat and on foot - part of it is on land.

If you have never visited a cave system before, this is an absolute must visit. It's a spectacular boat ride through the caves with some nice limestone formations. The last bit is on foot.

It is a Great experience, the route you take with the car until you arrive, the boat ride in the cave as well as the sea view when you exit the cave !

The most spectacular cavern in Greece. Most of its length is covered by water and explored on small boats. An absolut must see for anyone visiting the area, aged 3 to 103 :)

Fossilized bones of panthers, hyenas, lions, deer, ferrets and the largest collect of hippopotamus bones in Europe have been found inside the cave . Pottery has been found near the natural entrance.

The tour of the caves is definitely a must-do: let a wooden boat carry you through the barely-lit but astonishing rooms, while the rower will tell (in Greek) many facts about them and the whole cave .

Incredible cave , truly impressive! But the obese illiterate man that operated the boat was so useless & managed to scare my 4 year old son who in general loves caves , boats and water.

Up until 1960, 1,600 metres had been explored and charted, while today the known length of the cave is 14 kilometres. Exploration continues today above and below water with cave diving.

The total length of the tourist route through the caves is 1,500 metres. The first 1,300 metres are on a lake and takes about 25 mins. The last part is on foot.

The stalactites and stalagmites that are now beneath the water were formed when the sea level was much lower than it is today. Stalactites have been found at a depth of 71 meters.

The cave was known to locals from around 1900, but noone suspected what was hidden in its interior until 1949, when Yiannis and Anna Petrocheilou began a to explore it systematically.

The water in the cave is brackish and very hard. It's temperature is about 14°C while the air temperature in the cave varies from 16-19°C.

The cave opened for visitors in 1967 following the completion of preparatory work done by the Greek National Tourist Organisation six years earlier.

You can go from Gythio at 10 am and then take the bus back at 12:30

Better call first because it was not open. The public servants had too much to eat during Easter and decided to take a nap instead. Prices are 13 euros and 6 reduced price for children.

Spectacular site and unique experience! Not recommended for claustrophobic people ! Tour guides seem bored...and 12 euro per person is quite pricey .

It's amasing, not so great caves like in Slovenia, but pretty cool. Anyway it's nessesary to see.

Definitely worth doing a visit there

Wonderful ride. Must visit

not for claustrophobic people !

Remember to duck!

Important: The caves close at 5pm in the winter (from 1st Nov till 31st March)

Dont miss it!!

Must see in Mani! Don't miss.

A unique experience!!

no english tour for us! :(

Реально царство Аида! Особенно когда плывешь один в лодке по этим сводам с бородатым кормчим за спиной ! :) работают до 15:00!!!

Το σπήλαιο είναι μαγικό. Επιλέξτε το εισιτήριο των 15€, για τη λιμναία και τη χερσαία διαδρομή . Είναι λίγο τσιμπημένο, αλλά αξίζει.

Φανταστικο το σπήλαιο . Αξιζει να το επισκευτεί κανεις! θα μπορούσαν οι υπάλληλοι να είναι λίγο πιο φιλόξενοι και να εξηγούν και 2-3 πραγματα στον επισκέπτη! Κρίση εχουμε ακούς εκει 12€!

Από τα πιο ενδιαφέροντα σπήλαια και το πιο όμορφο. Η πλωτή ξενάγηση θα σας συναρπασει. Προσοχή τα κεφάλια σας! Μπορείτε να τραβηξετε φωτογραφίες!

Πολύ όμορφο σπήλαιο, αξίζει η βαρκάδα και η ξενάγηση .

Πανέμορφο το σπήλαιο ! Το αρνητικό είναι ότι δεν το προσέχουν καθόλου! Ούτε καν οι βαρκάρηδες που πιάνονταν από τους σταλακτίτες για να κουμαντάρουν τη βάρκα. Πόσο μάλλον οι "Ελληνάρες" τουρίστες.. ????

Συγκλονίστηκα!!! Υπέροχη η διαδρομή μέσα στο σπήλαιο. Must visit!!!

Αξίζει να το επισκεφθείς αν βρίσκεσαι στην περιοχή.

Ενα σπήλαιο που πρέπει να επισκεφτεί κανείς οπωσδήποτε...ακριβούτσικο εισιτήρι ο..

Το θέαμα είναι αρκετά εντυπωσιακό, αλλά υπολογίστε ότι θα περιμένετε 1 - 2 ώρες για να μπείτε. Ο χώρος αναμονής έχει ένα καφενεδάκι με κάποια σνακ και καφέ, αλλά γενικα όχι κάτι το ιδιαίτερο.

Πολύ καλή εμπειρία αλλά υπερτιμημένη. 12 Euro το εισητήριο ...

Απιστευτη εμπειρια...!!!

Καταπληκτικο

Οι υπάλληλοι θα μπορούσαν να είναι λίγο πιο ευγενικοί και πιο ενημερωμένοι

12€ για 40 λεπτα διαδρομη . Καλο για μια φορα

Γαμάτο το σπηλαιο ! 1ωρα αναμονη ομως...
