Cavetastic! or, The Mani Finale

On one particular day of exploring the Southern Argolid, Eph and I saw no fewer than three genuinely awesome caves. The one at left is the "big" Diros Cave, which you can see from the road.

This, however, is the "little" Diros Cave, which is actually just a huge sinkhole in the middle of a citrus orchard, and there is no trace of it at all unless you go down the steps featured below and basically come out inside of it.


In spite of how it looks, Eph was on no illegal substances at any time during the trip. Although, again, he did pee in the cave. Next to a church that had been built into the wall. Straight. To. Hell.












These are the Franchthi Caves, which have been excavated to reveal 20,000 years of human history inside. They are now brilliantly lit at night in order to gratify the rich dude who lives on the private island a few hundred meters away. It's so great that humans recognize what's truly important.

That's a wrap, folks! The Mani posts can be laid to rest. A grateful blogger thanks you; please tip your waitress.
