Tersanas Cave

A spectacular big cave in the same style and size as the famous Grande Grotta in Kalymnos, with almost the same climbing quality but on smaller stalactites. Tersanas Cave is right next to the sea by the Gramvousa Peninsula on the northwest coast. The cave is very close to the famous, almost exotic, Balos Beach (on the other side of the peninsula, with transparent blue/green waters). The whole area is stunning, and Balos consistently makes the Top Ten list of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
