Ancient Greece Buildings

The Ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion (Attica, Greece)

While visiting the Ionian Islands in western Greece, we will now ferry to the largest: Kefalonia. This island is home to the Melissani Cave, which features a lake surrounded with trees and forest and is located east of the mountains of Evmorfia and Agia Dynati. It forms a kind of ‘cenote’ similar to those in the Yucatán peninsula. In Greek mythology, Melissani was the Cave of the Nymphs.
