Papanikolis Sea Cave

The Biggest sea cave in the world, a fantastic swimming spot with a small beach inside the cave and crystal clear waters.

The Holy Temple of Saint John the Baptist is part of an old monastery built on a pebble beach west of the island. It no longer has excellent murals or architecture to display, but it has a long history since 1477. 

The cave of the Cyclops, at the bay of Kalopoulos, above the Spilia port, at the height of 50m above sea level, is one of the three potential caves in Greece to verify the well-known Homeric myth. The tradition states that Cyclops Polyphemus used it as a sheep shed.

Enjoy the new day with the view of the endless horizon and feel the fresh sea breeze.

Tip: extra early swimming is always amazing, and the sea is surprisingly hot!

The sunset from Stefani at Spartochori is simply breathtaking and favourite photo shooting spot.

The plane still lies in shallow water near the edge of the Vathy harbour can be easily seen in most conditions.

There are amazing isolated beaches around the island, accessible only by boat, with unique beauty, a zen atmosphere, emerald and turquoise waters.

You can't miss the beautiful reefs, the diversity of underwater life, and all with incredible visibility of over 30m/98ft!

The summer moons are bright, take your swimsuit and try a night swimming. You will see the sea turn sparkling silver, full of tiny stars around you. a truly unique experience.

Take some bread and get to Fanari beach early, around 8-9 AM. Stand in the middle of the beach, depth up to the waist, and start throwing tiny pieces of bread one by one. Soon, you will be surrounded by hundreds of small fishes; it's a unique opportunity for small kids to familiarize themselves and explore what's under the water.
