May 6, 2026, Cyclops Cave

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!

It's very quiet here, away from mass tourism; rubber shoes are recommended.

Easily accessible, spacious cave with two entrances. It can be reached in four minutes on foot from the free parking lot or by car via the dirt road. It's a good entry point for snorkeling or diving below the cave.
