Nikouria, Cavern

★★★★★ (1,696)

The cavern’s shape creates a spectacular landscape towards the blueness of the open sea. On the way back, you can explore pockets in the wall where a huge meadow of Neptune grass (indicating how clean these waters are) is home to fan mussels, nudibranchs, pipe fish and much more.

The walls are completely covered with bright purple, red and, yellow sponges, diverse corals, macro marine life, large spiral worms, lobsters hiding in the wall, and bigger scorpions.
