Tucked along the rocky coastline, Nestor's Cave is steeped in Greek mythology, associated with King Nestor, who featured prominently in Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

Inside, you'll discover mesmerising stalactites and stalagmites while listening to the soothing sound of waves crashing nearby.
