Picked up from Lassi hotel by large comfortable Mercedes coach by guide Maria & driver Makis - all was as advertised. Maria was a native English speaker who had an intimate knowledge of the island and its history - nothing was a problem for Maria and she expertly answered all questions. Asos is a beautiful village - but lies at the end of a tortuously hairpinned road down which Makis guided the large coach - I’m so glad I didn’t have to drive myself there Fiscardo was a delight - as featured on this years RATW - and an excellent place for lunch sat around the harbour The caves are incredible, and their creation with an underground river remarkable An excellent day and thoroughly recommended - thankyou Maria

We’re pleased you enjoyed the charming villages of Assos and Fiskardo, as well as the incredible caves—some of Kefalonia’s most unique natural wonders.

We had an excellent day. Picked up at Argostoli Port on Sunday morning outside Coffee Break. Our guide Maria was fantastic - very knowledgable, nothing too much trouble & our driver Makis - his driving skills on those hairpin bends is excellent. Our 1st stop was to Mellisani Cave..all I can say is WOW! The oarsman was a proper character - serenading his passengers There's 22 steps down to the cave, and then a slope down to the water ( it's not slippy at all as is carpeted) - yesterday it was 38' but down in the cave it was a lovely 18' - you pay €10pp entrance fee into the cave (€5 under 18s) ( if paying cash the guide will collect the money on the bus & if paying by card you can do that at the ticket office) You have around 10mins on a boat going into the cave under the stalagtites - the oarsman will tell you all about the history of the cave..well worth it. On our drive to our next stop Makis pulled into a viewing spot above the famous Myrtos beach so we had a great photo opp there. Next stop was Fiskárdo - a stunning fishing village with plenty of photo opportunities, plenty of tavernas & cafes to stop at - lots of lovely shops too if you like your shopping. There's a bakery called Tselente - owner is a bit of a character but their pastries/donuts are amazing. Last stop was the tiny Ássos - again, absolutely stunning..honestly if I hadn't seen these places with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed they were real. Maria told us all about the history of Kefaloniá, the island's food, & snippets of information about the villages we went through. Excellent tour - definitely one not to miss out on, you won't be disappointed.
