What to expect

Natural wonders, impressive beaches and pretty villages – when it comes to sightseeing, Kefalonia is an A-lister. And on this full day bus tour, you'll see some of its best bits, both above and below ground. Lake Melissani, Drogarati Cave, Fiskardo and Agia Efimia are all on the menu, as well as a photo stop at Myrtos Bay. Georgios, one of our local guides, says, ‘With around 250km of coastline, Kefalonia is home to some of the very best beaches in Greece. But if you can tear yourself away from the pristine sands, there's tonnes more to see and do.'

You'll kick off your adventure on Lake Melissani, for an underground boat trip to Melissani Cave. When sunlight shines in through the opening of this cave, it creates a glistening fluorescent hue on the water below – it's a sight to behold. Georgios says, ‘There are many myths and legends surrounding the history of the lake. Some say it was named after Melissanthi, whose spirit still haunts the cave to this day. Others say it was discovered by a shepherd, who chose to spend the rest of his days here.' You'll also stop by the nearby Drogarati Cave for a chance to see its stalactites and stalagmites.

Next up is a short visit to the port of Agia Efimia, before we hit Fiskardo. Here, you'll have around two hours to explore the fashionable fishing village, do a spot of souvenir shopping or grab a bite to eat in one of its many pastel-coloured tavernas. You'll round off the day at a viewpoint overlooking Myrtos beach. Lapped by clear blue waters, it's one of the most photo-worthy spots in Greece.

Tour dell'isola di Itaca con villaggi tradizionali

Famosa fin dall'antichità come patria di Ulisse, l'isola di Itaca si trova al largo della costa nord-orientale di Cefalonia. Sebbene sia a breve distanza in barca, visitarla è come fare un salto indietro nel tempo. Il suo terreno aspro e montuoso sembra uscito direttamente da un classico dell'antichità.

Immersioni a Cefalonia

Cefalonia è giustamente famosa per le sue spiagge straordinarie, ma anche l'acqua che le bagna merita di essere esplorata. Con una visibilità che supera i 40 metri nel cristallino Mar Ionio, c'è un mondo ricco da scoprire intorno alle rocce giganti, alle grotte, alle barriere coralline e ai relitti di navi del fondale marino.

Serata ad Argostoli con degustazione di vini

Il capoluogo di Cefalonia è una cosa rara in Grecia. E questo perché Argostoli è uno dei luoghi più vivaci delle isole Ionie. Qui non si tratta di antiche rovine, ma dell'atmosfera che si respira passeggiando per le piazze e il porto. E, dopo aver iniziato il viaggio in un'azienda vinicola, potrete brindare alla notte che vi attende.
