Planning to visit Melissani Cave

[nm1999]

I am planning to go to Kefalonia and want to visit Melissani Cave. I am personally very excited about it, but someone in my party is afraid of small spaces (small, dark spaces). Their claustrophobia is actually something they've needed therapy for in the past.

To those of you who have been, do you think this individual should try to find something else to do that day?!

I am not crazy about that aspect of visiting caves either, but I don't have a legit fear like she does. I know that I can relax and enjoy the experience once I get used to the feelings of being in a cave.

Nothing to worry about. Plenty of light and at times sun in the lake . The only time she may feel claustrophobic is in the tunnel that leads to the lake.

I agree! It's not as bad as you would think, there's plenty of light there. I've never been but I've heard from others and seen photos...
