Goodmorning from Papanikolis cave.

Papanikolis cave:
Located on the southern part of Meganissi island it is believed to have served as a hideway during the World War II. The submarine Papanikolis would tuck up inside the cave to hide from the Italian armada and then emerge again to carry on the war against the Αxis powers. Not impressed yet? Well legend has it that centuries ago it was an ideal refuge for those trying to escape the vicious pirates ruling the seas of Meganissi. With a chamber about 120 metres long and 60 metres wide it is after all one of the BIGGEST SEA CAVES IN THE WORLD.
How to get there: It is accessible only by sea. Plenty of organized boat cruises from Nidri (Lefkada) make a stop there, but you can also rent a motor boat from Spartochori Meganissi.
