The Majestic Panorama from Leras Cave

Located above the port of Stavros Akrotiri on the top of Mt Vardies, the Leras Cave offers a unique exploration experience. The entrance of the cave begins with a vestibule, and to proceed inside, one must enter hunched over through a small entrance and carry one’s own lighting. Inside, there are four chambers with intricately carved niches, creating an intriguing atmosphere. In the depths of the cave, a spring forms a serene lake, adding to its mystique. Continuing further, visitors enter a small chamber adorned with enormous stalagmites, captivating the imagination. 

For those seeking adventure, the ascent to the cave through the scenic Stavros Beach offers a rewarding experience. As you make your way up, you'll be captivated by the breath-taking beauty of the Cretan Sea, a sight that makes the hour-long journey all the more worthwhile.
