Melissani lake @ kefalonia
Uploaded by: spidermarios
Video Description:
Located near to Karavomilos, Melissani Lake is the most spectacular cave lake on the island.
It may be 100 + degrees F outside but in the cave it is always cool and damp. There are boats waiting to show you round the lake. The guides' descriptions of the 20,000 year old stalactites are graphic and imaginative to say the least! The cave is 100 m long with a third taken up by the lake whi
ch is 100 foot deep in places! It was officially discovered by Austrian divers and opened to the public in 1963. However, the locals were aware of it's existence much, much earlier as a shepherdess had gone missing and fallen in whilst looking for a sheep. The waters empty into the lake in Karavomi
los. In 1953 during the earthquakes the cave roof fell in, creating amazing light displays on the cave walls. Between 10.30am and 1pm during July and August the sun hits the cave changing the colour of the water, the various shades of blue are then reflected off the walls. Worth the trip!
