Cephalonia Island Highlights Tour

  • Meet your tour guide at the agreed-upon location to begin the tour.
  • Proceed to the Robola Winery Cooperative, which currently comprises 300 members and local farmers who export the famous Robola wine worldwide.
  • Reach Drogarati Cave to observe the amazing stalactites and stalagmites that give this place the feel of a cathedral. The cave is more than 150 million years old and is well known for its spectacular acoustics.

  • Explore the cave of the nymphs, the famous Melisani Lake.

  • Enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the turquoise waters as the sun shines into the cave.

  • Discover the famous Antisamos Beach, featured in the Hollywood movie "Captain Corelli's Mandolin," with your Cephalonia driver. Here, you will stay for about one hour to swim in the turquoise waters surrounded by marvellous green hills.

  • A short stop at Myrtos Beach for photos will be a highlight.

  • Discover Assos village, which gives the impression of being an island of its own. Pretty coloured houses nestling into the craggy hillside dot the scenery with colours beyond the dominating blue and green.

  • Visit the cosmopolitan village of Fiscardo, untouched after the great earthquake of 1953, which retains the architecture and ambience of when the Venetians ruled Kefalonia. Here, you will have the chance to taste the traditional Kefalonia cuisine in one of the oldest dining venues in the village. End of the tour.
