Active leisure
There are many mountain caves on the island, where special tourist excursions are conducted.
Melissani Cave is located 3 km from the city of Sami. Tourists enter the cave through an underground road. There is a lake in the depths of the cave, along which the tour takes place by boat.
Drogarati Cave is located 5 km from Sami and is located 120 m above sea level. The cave is hundreds of millions of years old. The cave is covered with stalactites and stalagmites. The temperature in the cave is quite low. Unfortunately, only a part of the cave is open to tourists. Most of the underground passages are dangerous and are not allowed for visits.
The Miracle of Snakes
Every August, one of the Orthodox miracles takes place on the island. During this period, snakes from all over the island gather in the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Snakes are absolutely safe for temple visitors these days. Hundreds of tourists come to this miracle every year. If snakes do not come to the temple, it is a bad omen. This happens in a year when powerful seismic tremors occur on the island. A
