Cave of the river
A crystal-clear water acts as an entry to a system of communicating grottoes that you can explore by foot. It takes this name from an above small ravine that pours rainwater during the autumn.
Cave of the Three doors
Maybe the most famous one in the area; takes its name from the fact that it has three arches as doorways.
Cave of the Lovers
Swim in the 6-m-deep (19 ft) waters of the Ionian sea and pass under a doorway, reaching an enchanting grotto full of sand, where you can easily walk on. Inside of that you will find a sort of "playground" with different minor caves and two points to climb on the ceiling and diving into the water without any risk. The name if due to the same ceiling, that resembles the shape of a heart.
