Activity itinerary

Melissani Cave
  • 1h
Welcome to the enchanting Melissani Lake, often called the 'Cave of the Nymphs,' a true jewel of Kefalonia! This unique geological phenomenon is an absolute must-see. We'll descend into this underground marvel, where a collapsed section of the cave roof allows sunlight to stream in, illuminating the crystal-clear, brackish waters in breathtaking shades of turquoise and deep blue. As we glide across the lake in traditional rowboats, you'll be mesmerized by the interplay of light and shadow, creating an almost ethereal glow. Our local boatmen will share fascinating insights into the cave's history and geology, including the ancient stalactites formed over thousands of years. You'll also hear the poignant myth of the nymph Melissani, who, according to legend, drowned here out of unrequited love for the god Pan – a tale supported by archaeological finds of ancient artifacts.
Drogarati Cave
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Drogarati is an impressive cave with remarkable formations of stalactites and stalagmites. Speleologists state that this cave is about 150 million years old and constitutes a rare geological phenomenon. The cave is about 60m deep and has a constant temperature of 18 C. The humidity of the cave reaches 90%.
Myrtos Beach
  • 30m
The beach of Myrtos is, undoubtedly, one of the main poles of attraction in Kefalonia. It is located 29 km north of Argostoli, in a beautiful area around huge verdant hills. Myrtos has gained a worldwide reputation and has been constantly included in travel magazines among the most beautiful and impressive beaches in the world. It has been awarded many times for its cleanness and natural beauty. We visit the spot for photo stop of the breathtaking view
Λίμνη Καραβόμυλος
  • 10m
Karavomylos Lake is a unique natural phenomenon located near the village of Karavomylos on the island of Kefalonia. It's a small, brackish lake directly connected to the underground current that originates from the Katavothres sinkholes on the opposite side of the island, near Argostoli. This geological marvel means that seawater from the Ionian Sea enters Katavothres, travels thousands of meters underground, mixes with freshwater, and then re-emerges in Karavomylos Lake before flowing into the sea. The lake itself is a tranquil spot. Its crystal-clear waters allow visitors to observe various fish and the fascinating phenomenon of the water bubbling up from the earth. A watermill, which historically utilized the lake's outflow, adds to its picturesque charm. Ducks and swans often glide gracefully across its surface, enhancing the serene atmosphere.Karavomylos Lake serves as a testament to Kefalonia's remarkable geological landscape and is a popular, albeit peaceful, tourist attraction.
Agia Efimia
  • 15m
Agia Effimia is a charming, traditional fishing village on the eastern coast of Kefalonia, Greece. It's known for its picturesque harbor, array of tavernas and cafes, and as a popular base for exploring the island's stunning beaches and natural beauty.
Assos
  • 40m
Assos is a picturesque village nestled on the northwest coast of Kefalonia, Greece. Renowned for its stunning natural beauty and charming Venetian architecture, it's a popular tourist destination. The village is built amphitheatrically around a small, horseshoe-shaped bay, with vibrant, pastel-colored houses cascading down the hillside towards the crystal-clear turquoise waters. Dominating the headland above the village are the ruins of a 16th-century Venetian castle, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Ionian Sea and the rugged coastline. A winding, scenic road leads down to the village, where a small pebble beach invites swimming and sunbathing. Assos boasts a tranquil atmosphere, with a handful of tavernas and cafes lining the waterfront, perfect for enjoying fresh seafood and local delicacies. Its idyllic setting and laid-back vibe make it a truly unforgettable spot on Kefalonia.
