There is another part of Cephalonia that is spectacular but hidden from plain view?—the caves and chasms. While not of all these underground chambers and rock formations are open to the public, such as the Zervati Lake Cave and the Chasm of Agia Eleousa, the open ones, are sites to behold. Discovered 300 years ago, the Drogarati Cave near Sami is visually impressive with stalactite and stalagmite formations and a depth of nearly 200 feet below ground level. One notable highlight is the Sala of Apotheosis, which offers incredible acoustics, and functions as a venue for concerts and other shows. Meanwhile, the Chasm Cave of Agioi Theodori offers visitors a stunning view with its variety of birds, trees, shrubs and lush vegetation, and a surprise turquoise lake.
