[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Caves of Diros were discovered in 1895 but the end has still not been found. The caves were formed by an underground fresh water river. The Cave pictured is Vlihada Cave, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world. Animal fossils dating back 2 million years can be found in the cave. To get through the cave you need to take a small boat with a guide. The guide takes you through about 3/4 of a mile of the cave. The temperature in the cave is between 60.3 and 68 degrees, and the temperature of the water is 53.6 degrees

Very nice picture,Vassilis! The walls look like sculptures! Beautiful place to visit and interesting text.Very well done! TFS! Michel

Αν και η φωτογράφιση σπηλαίων είναι από τις πιο δύσκολες λήψεις, τα έχεις καταφέρει μια χαρά. Η φωτογραφία σου μας δίνει την αίσθηση του σπηλαίου!

Very beautiful picture, Bασίλη. The lighting in the cave is very professional and you captured it well. I almost can't believe the water is so still, as if no boats were on it. TFS.

Nicely done! I am surprised they let you shoot in there. B

Hi Vassilis, great shot just beautiful the river looks like glass. I enjoyed the descriptive note. Do they allow you to take flash Photos? When I come to Greece you will have to take me there "just kidding" give me directions to this cave.
Thanks for sharing
Jim

Very good photo:_))

Bravo.

Hi Vassilis!
Browsing through the site, I've found this rather old post of yours. This is very interesting photo, which is well captured. I have tried some cave shots myself and I know how it can be difficult to capture it, especially from a boat! :)
Details are nice, but I think there is too much blue color in your light, perhaps it needs some adjustments. Still, you did it well, and now I know that you are able to make good postcards even from beneath the surface! :)))
Just tell me something. 60 degrees! Celsius? Is it that hot or am I getting something wrong?

Regards
Robert

This is the first time I see a cavern here in treklens. In fact, I haven't been inside one ever.
I like the soft tones, the shapes and the reflections. Seems unreal, cold and damp.
Best regards
Jacobo

Hi Vassilis, superb colour, reflections and pov. I would like to do the tour as well. It seems so interesting and has such a special mood.

Very well photographed!

Take care, Yan :)

ps: Many thx for your crit in "Government Buildings on Rideau River". It's greatly appreciated.

It is wonderfull... Never find the end! I admit it need a serious determination and courage to say i will find it... Just imagine the little frontal lamp broken... Isshh!
But for the normal visit it look great! Water is a little cold to swim but for the rest the temperature is cool and the visual is fantastic!
