Experience the very best of Kefalonia in a single, unforgettable day.
This extended half-day tour combines the island’s most iconic caves with authentic local experiences and breathtaking coastal views.
Begin your journey at the Drogarati Cave, a 150-million-year-old natural wonder famed for its dramatic stalactites and cathedral-like acoustics. Continue to the enchanting Melissani Lake, where a short boat ride reveals sunlight shimmering through turquoise waters deep inside a hidden cave.
After exploring Kefalonia’s underground beauty, unwind in the seaside village of Agia Efimia. Enjoy free time to stroll along the harbor, relax with a coffee, or browse local shops.
Next, indulge in a tasting of traditional Kefalonian products — local wine, olive oil, honey, and handmade sweets — capturing the island’s true flavor.
End your tour with a photo stop at the world-famous Myrtos Beach viewpoint, where white cliffs meet vibrant blue seas for one of Greece’s most breathtaking panoramas.
