20 Cephalonia - Melissani Lake

We changed directions, and it was not long until we were now on the coast of
the opposite side of the island. Markis' plan worked out and although there
was a queue to visit the underground Melissani lake, the wait was not as bad
as it could have been. The Cost is 7 Euro's per person and once paid you
followed the concrete ramp underground. The anticipation rose as the blue
water started to appear as we edged towards the end of the tunnel.
Natural light poured in from above and the crystal blue lake seemed to glow
as the little boats circled the small lake and entered the adjoining cavern.
Stalactites and stalagmites seemed to change colour as the boat glided
through. Making the most of the acoustics our Greek "Gondolier" serenaded
us, possibly in hope for a greater tip.
