The Melissani Cave Lake, located near Kefalonia, Greece, was a hidden treasure up until the roof of the cave collapsed after an earthquake in 1953. The mystical sky-blue lake, surrounded by a thick forest, is its most charming in July and August when sunlight pervades the area, changing the colour of the water and reflecting it on the surrounding walls.
Melissani is named after a nymph, Melissanthe, who, according to Greek mythology, resided in the cave and drowned herself when the god, Pan, rejected her romantic advances.
