We read about this attraction and made it a high point of our visit in the historic part of Kastoria. The cave was an experience as speleologists have made it safe and accessible to the public. Inside the lighting enriches the experience of the incredible cascading stalactites and stalagmites with small ponds bringing color in the calcium palace. A guiding audio system guides and highlights in some parts of the cave. Only drawback was that quests have limited time as our exhalations and CO2 destroys the interior. So take some flashless photos fast

A small but very educational and interesting aquarium few metres outside the centre of town with an easy place to park your car. There is a good variety of fish species and the visit is very educational. Together with the cave of dragon is a must place to visit.
