Today’s excursions took place in Kefalonia, the final island of National Geographic Orion’s voyage across the Mediterranean. Guests and staff spent the morning exploring not one, but two phenomenal cave sites: Melissani Lake, a crystal-clear body of brackish water overhung by a massive 100’ high cavern, and Drogarati Cave, an underground hall festooned with stalactites, stalagmites, curtains, cave straws, and formations too numerous to count.
After emerging from the cooler depths, we spent the afternoon kayaking from the ship, embarking on an adventurous hike around the slopes of the town of Sami, or simply relaxing and swimming at one of Greece’s picturesque beaches.
