According to legend, this is the cave where the one-eyed cyclops Polyphemus held Odysseus and his men captive (luckily we could move freely, we just had to duck our heads a little)! The Cyclops Cave at Cape Greco itself is a natural cave, located about 15 meters above sea level and has 2 entrances, inside it is surprisingly "colorful". Easily accessible via the "Nature-trail" or from the parking lot (max. 5 min walk). no technical challenges but beautiful views in and out!
