The Greek islands are known for their unique culture, history, beaches and nightlife. However, people often forget about natural attractions, which are, hands down, real wonders of nature.
If you plan to travel to the Greek islands in the future, be sure to pay attention to these natural wonders to visit and experience if you can.

This place, which looks like a gateway to a wonderful underground world, is shrouded in mystery. It is in the heart of the cave a large swimming pool, surrounded by steep rocky walls surrounded by flora, with a huge opening above; like a giant natural skylight. This allows sunlight to enter the cave and illuminate it in a beautiful turquoise color that reflects off the walls. This little paradise below the surface Kefalonia, one of the Ionian Islands, is simply an unrepeatable experience.

Like Melissani Cave, Samariá Gorge looks like a fantasy place. It is located on an island Crete and is a combination of cliffs, mountain trails, picturesque flora and stunning views. The location is perfect for adventure seekers.

North of Crete lies this rather unusual one island of volcanic origin. While other Greek islands are full of white beaches and lush greenery, Santorini is a stark contrast. This is the island of lava and sun. Amazing volcanic landscape, which will make you feel like you've landed on Mars, are complemented by Cycladic architecture (buildings in blue and white), a thousand-year history, a rich tourist offer as the central activity of the locals, and their friendliness. The volcano that formed the island is still active today.

It is located on the island of Thasos, in the province of Astris Giola pool, created by mother nature. It is filled with fresh Mediterranean water, and the stone bed gives it an incredible turquoise glow. For many tourists, it is a paradise for swimming.

Samothrace is a small island that few people know about. Although it may not have the reputation of some of the larger and more famous islands, it is full of natural treasures that you must discover. It is famous for its pristine beauty and natural thermal pools (vathers), which can be found near the town of Therma. These offer the opportunity to experience incredible rock formations, flora and waterfalls.
