Here are the top 10 sea caves in Greece:

Milk (or Ouzo) — Koufonisia
This extraordinary sea cave is located at Koufonisia, on the way to Pori. After you cross Pori, you will see the rock that looks like a lion and next to it you will find the cave named Milk. You will be amazed from the shape of this beach. The rock surrounds a tiny beach with white water! That is the reason that this cave is called the Milk (some people also call it Ouzo, from the traditional Greek drink) The white color of the water exists due to the dust of calcium that falls from the rock.
Cave of Papanikolis — Lefkada
This sea cave was the base of operation of the Greek submarine “Papanikolis” at World War 2. Thanks to its size, the cave of Papanikolis is the largest sea cave in the world. With a length of 120 meters, every year attracts visitors to admire the magnificence of its natural beauty. You can reach the cave only from the sea with a boat. Water is so crystal clear that you can see the bottom of the sea and beautiful stalactites hanging on the roof. Inside the cave there is a small beach carefully preserved.
