Ainos through the lush Greek countryside rich with vineyards, olive orchards, and cypress groves. Descend a manmade tunnel to the shores of Lake Melissani, the island's largest cave lake. Take a rowboat cruise to view the lake cave's dramatic stalactites and stalagmites that border its glistening aquamarine waters. Visit majestic Drogarati Cave, located nearly 200 feet below the surface.
