Our journey will with a 45-minute scenic drive to across the Greek countryside to the Drogarati Caves.

We will do a 40-minute tour of the cave, where you can contemplate the breathtaking rock formations illuminated by hidden lighting, and step into the magnificent “Sala of Apotheosis”, a grand hall within the cave.
