Live an unforgettable diving experience into The Elephant Cave.  Outside Chania lies this underwater cave of stunning beauty and unique heritage. The Ephorate of Paleoanthropology & Speleology undertook exploration of the cave in 2000 where experts came across some exceptional finds, such as elephant and –a small number of– deer bones.  Access to the cave is done only via boat while its entrance lies 10 m under the surface of the sea.  The roof is covered with dazzling stalactites of a reddish tint caused by high rates of aluminium and iron, while, in the water, there is a number of wonderful stalagmites, proof that its bottom has not been always under water. Today the cave bears refuge to Monachus monachus, the Mediterranean seal, one of a number of endangered mammals on our planet.
