Melissani Cave Lake, Greece
Melissani Cave Lake is one of the natural wonders of Greece, located on the island of Cephalonia. Melissani Cave was formed by the disintegration of rocks and the entry of water into the caves. Millions of years ago a huge hole was made in the rock as a result of continuous action of water on the rocks and thus this lake was formed naturally. Melissani Cave Lake contains both sea and fresh water and has a depth of 20–30 m. The Melissani cave is covered from above by a large rock. In the afternoon, the rays of sunlight falling on the blue water create a magical light in the cave. In 1951, during excavations from a small island in the lake, archaeologists found several artifacts and figures of Apsaras (Greek mythological figures).
