So a cave can't become a lake when filled with water?

I wouldn't call that a lake , looks more like a pond . But the water is very clear .

Yes , clearer than the bay. You can only see bottom on nice days.

in the first picture, look up and see the stalactite growing down from the cave ceiling
it takes 20 years to grow an inch and inside that cave there are stalactites that are
4 - 5 and even 7 feet long ...

not far from Melissani is Drogaradi -- with both stalactites and stalagmites
