This is one of the most remarkable natural attractions of the region. The cave of Methana (aka "Cave of the Pigeons") is 2.5 million years old. The length of the cave is 250 m and it consists of three chambers: in the first one there is a small lake, the second one is full of rocks that have fallen from the ceiling while the third one is again full of water.
Climbing on the inactive volcano of Methana is a unique experience. The most important of the thirty craters has been found near the village of "Kameni Chora". Hiking to the crater, through a pine forest, takes less than an hour and offers spectacular views of the Saronic Gulf.
A large island on the Saronic Gulf. It was the first capital of modern Greece. The island is held in high esteem by the Greeks Orthodox church. It is also known for their pistachios. Easy to visit from Piraeus/Athens and good place to go to visit other Saronic islands
