Diros caves, Areopolis, Peloponnese

The caves of Diros near Areopolis (Mani) are regarded as one of the most important speleological findings of our recent times. Touring the caves is conducted with special boats as the major part of the cave (1.5 Km) is full of water, in some cases quite deep. Visitors can walk the rest of the 300 metres on specially built corridors. Like most caves in Greece the stalagmites and stalactites are dated back to some million years ago.
