Papanikolis Sea Cave
Σπηλιά Παπανικολή
A large sea cave on the southwest coast of Meganisi, said to have hidden a Greek submarine during the Second World War.
The cave mouth is wide, and the seawater inside glows a fluorescent blue in the sunlight. According to legend, during the Second World War the Greek submarine Papanikolis hid inside the cave to escape pursuit, which is how the cave got its name. The cave can only be entered from the sea. Most boat tours from Nydri either sail into the cave mouth or anchor nearby for a swim, and you can also rent a small boat and head there yourself.
