Activity itinerary

Cruise Ship Terminal Argostoli

15m

Begin your journey with a scenic drive through picturesque Kefalonia.

Ιερά Μονή Άγιος Ανδρέας Μηλαπιδιάς

1h

Begin at one of Kefalonia’s oldest monasteries, dating back to the Byzantine era. The convent preserves rare frescoes revealed after the 1953 earthquake, along with an extraordinary museum collection of icons and relics. Here you will also see the revered right foot of Apostle Andrew, making this site one of Greece’s significant pilgrimage destinations.

Castle of Agios Georgios

2h

Set within the medieval walls of St. George’s Castle, this 16th-century church once served as the island’s cathedral. Its serene courtyard and panoramic views reflect Kefalonia’s Venetian past. Your guide will explain its role in annual religious traditions and the symbolic transfer of the Virgin Mary icon each spring.

Sacred Monastery of Agios Gerasimos of Kefalonia

2h

Visit the spiritual heart of Kefalonia, dedicated to the island’s patron saint. Walk through peaceful courtyards shaded by ancient plane trees and see the silver reliquary containing St. Gerasimos’ remains. Pilgrims travel from across Greece to pray here, and your guide will share stories of the saint’s miracles and legacy.

Holy Church of Panagia Paraportiani

2h

Continue to Markopoulo village to explore this remarkable church known for its annual “miracle of the snakes.” Each August, harmless snakes marked with small cross-shaped patterns appear around the church. The tradition is linked to a medieval legend of nuns saved from pirates, and locals still view the snakes’ appearance as a sign of protection.

Cruise Ship Terminal Argostoli

1h

After a day filled with authentic flavors and island traditions, return comfortably to the cruise port.
