About this activity
Explore one of Europe's most celebrated cave systems, featuring the stunning underground Lake Martel where classical music echoes across cathedral-like chambers. This 8-hour guided tour combines the geological wonder of Drach Caves with visits to Porto Cristo's waterfront and a local pearl factory, offering a complete cultural and natural immersion.
The Drach Caves are among the most visited in Europe and many consider them the 8th Wonder of the World. The Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world, is the scene of a classical music program. The inside temperature is very pleasant and constant throughout the year: 21 Celsius. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes during the visit.
