The
road from Argostoli now takes you through a beautiful valley. and to the
ancient church or Agios Gerasimos. This magnificent church houses the remains of
the Saint. It was not possible to take photos here but a new church has been
built near by and is open to the public. Many of the walls have not yet been 
adorned with religious art. it seems however that one Artist has
undertaken this
task and will probably spend the rest of his life completing them.
Drogarati Caves
From here
the next destination were the Caves at Drogarati. Thought by the experts to be
around 150 million years old but known about for only 100 years, the development
of the caves started in the 1960s. Over the years earthquakes have
caused damage and part of the roof collapsed. The stalactites and stalagmites
are a site to behold when you consider they take so many millions of years to
form,
With its constantly cool temperature and excellent
acoustics, concerts are often
held there with audiences of up to 500 people. Having and Orchestra and
world renown stars singing live in this amazing auditorium must make
for memorable, spectacular evening in this cavern.
Well worth a visit .
