Diros Caves

Travel from Gythion across scenic Mani, home to the proud Maniots, a land dotted with fortress-like towers and mountain villages to the enchanting underworld of Diros Caves, one of the earliest inhabited sites in Greece. Formed millions of years ago, this spectacular natural phenomenon consists of three vast subterranean caves stretching more than 15km. Board a boat and explore the labyrinthine underground waterways of Vlychada cave, the largest of them, admiring the eerily beautiful caverns adorned with spectacular stalagmites and stalactites. Finish your visit at historic Areopolis Village and its array of stone houses with their enclosed courtyards.
