Itinerary
Kefalonia's Drogarati Cave was found 300 years ago and opened to the public in 1963. It was discovered after a big earthquake caused the cave's entrance to collapse. Drogarati is a spectacular cave with amazing stalactite and stalagmite structures. This cave, according to speleologists, is roughly 150 million years old and represents a remarkable geological phenomena. The cave is roughly 60 meters deep and maintains a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. The cave's humidity is high. This is a great opportunity to take beautiful photographs, that you will treasure forever!
Beautiful and fascinating, Melissani Lake is one of the most stunning highlights of Kefalonia. In the Lake Melissani, you buy the ticket (not included in the price). By boat you will be taken around the lake to the closed part of the cave (approx 30 minutes), passing the islet where the excavations had taken place. At the walls, there are Stalactites and flowstones with bizarre shaping, some with a resemblance to dolphins, as the boatman will point out, dolphins play a role in mythology. The lake of Melissani has not yet revealed all its secrets. The water is brackish as many springs supply the lake cave. One of them is the source "Katavothres" which is located on the other side of the island near Argostoli. Part of the cave’s roof collapsed a few thousand years ago due to an earthquake. The daylight falls through this opening, showing the colour of the lake in its deep blue sea
Just outside of Sami, in the direction of Agia Efimia, is Karavomilos. A small, charming fishing village with a long, narrow shingle beach and stunning views of Ithaca. Beautiful Karavomilos is named after a tiny circular lake near the local water mill. The region is surrounded by rich foliage, which attracts a variety of wildlife such as ducks, swans, and herons. The lake is part of phenomenon of the underground flow of fresh water from Katavothres near Argostoli to the Melissani Lake.
Agia Efimia is a beautiful scenic beach/traditional 31.5 kilometers north east of Argostoli (Kefalonia's capital). It is incredibly peaceful, and has lots pretty tavernas and shops. It is located around the natural bay and has a modest and charming harbor where fishing and excursion boats dock.
We can arrange a short photo stop above Myrtos beach, one of the most beautiful and most photographed beaches in Europe. Then we have a quick refreshment break. Divarata is small village above Myrtos beach. We stop to buy souvenirs and get some chilled refreshments.
Myrtos beach/Kefalonia - This is a great opprortunity to have a lovely swim, or have a nice relaxing drink at the pretty beach bar. We provide sun umbrellas and beach mats. Myrtos is without a doubt one of Kefalonia's most beautiful tourist destinations. It is north of Argostoli, in a stunning location. Surrounded by enormous green hills. Myrtos Beach has an international reputation and is consistently listed among the greatest beaches in Greece (it has featured in the worlds tourist magazines many times). It has received numerous awards for its cleanliness and natural beauty.
We drive above Myrtos beach, at the world famous photo shoot point. This is an excellent opportunity to create special memories. The drone will create unforgettable photos!
The Koutavos Lagoon is an excellent nature reserve for wildlife, including the Caretta Caretta turtle and other birdlife. It is located near the head of Argostoli Bay. The town's greatest park is a shady forest of eucalyptus and pine trees that may be reached by walking or cycling along the wide trail that round the lagoon from the harbour front. Until the Drepano Bridge was built in 1813 to ease access to Argostoli from the settlements across the bay, the lagoon was an almost impassable bog filled with mosquitoes and malaria. A small islet in the lagoon's center is off-limits to visitors because it serves as a nesting and feeding area for waterfowl. The Koutavos Lagoon is located near the mouth of the Argostoli Bay.

Maria was frustrated by the baby we had. The line at the caves took us most of our time. Therefore we had to cut the Bach short and didn’t go to the second cave. We wouldn’t have made it back to the boat on time
Our tour in Cephalonia with Giota was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She had incredible energy, was warm and welcoming, and met us right in front of the terminal as soon as we got off the cruise, which made everything feel so easy and well organized. Without her, our experience in Cephalonia and the whole tour would not have been nearly as enjoyable. Her enthusiasm and local knowledge truly made the day special. We especially loved Myrtos Beach — what an absolutely beautiful and breathtaking place. The views were unforgettable. Melissani Cave is also an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Cephalonia. It was one of the highlights of our trip. A huge thank you to Giota, who put soul into her job for making our visit so memorable. Highly recommended!
Thank you very much! We enjoyed the day also! We hope to see you again!!!
Giota was a very knowledgeable tour guide! She was great and took us to all the spots in a comfortable minivan. We were coming from a cruise and she made it back in time for us. We didn’t swim because it was too cold but Giota took us to a panoramic photoshoot spot. Would definitely do this again!
Thank you very much! Hope to see you again!!!
Went on an amazing tour of Kefalonia island today starting out in Argostoli and exploring a good potion of the island. Panagiota (Giota) our tour guide took us to some amazing spots to include a cave with an underground lake that you can ride a small boat around. The sites were breathtaking and what made it even better was Giota’s knowledge and extremely fun personality, we spent the time smiling, laughing and learning. Would definitely recommend this tour and ask for Giota!!!
Thank you very much! We had a great time also!!!
The driver was there to greet us as arranged ! It has been so nice to see friendly and experienced guides in each country we have booked Viator
Thank you very much!!
We had an amazing day, our guide Giota was super fun and knowledgeable. She managed to fit in two other stops which were amazing too. I highly recommend going with Giota and i plan to revisit as our time was limited as we were on a cruise.
Thank you very much! We hope to see you again and have fun!!
Kefalonia is a wonderful island. It is worth a visit. Especially Myrtos beach I have never seen such a beautiful beach. Then Giota is an exceptional guide showed us the beauties of the island and told its story.
Grazie mille per la maravigliose parole!!
We had Giota as our guide and she was very upbeat and informative. She looked after us well and made sure we had an exceptional experience even going out of route to show us additional sites. Such a great way to see some of the main attractions, would definitely recommend!
Thank you very much for your kind words!!
I with my family spent a wonderful day thanks to the super nice company of our guide Giota🥰
Thank you very much for your kind words! We had a great time with you too!
Giota was an incredible tour guide, so friendly and thought of every detail! She gave us information about the island as we drove and amended the tour so that we went to a beautiful and safe beach where we could easily grab lunch and make the most of our time. The sites themselves were beautiful!
Thank you very much for choosing our company to browse the island! We hope to see you again!
