St. Gerasimos is the patron saint of Kefalonia, so the Monastery of St. Gerasimos is a sacred place for every citizen of Kefalonia. Saint Gerasimos is believed by natives of Kefalonia to protect them and heal them of illness. Many natives of the island name their children after Saint Gerasimos as a tribute to the saint who protects them.
Visit the Kefalonian Robola Producers cooperative in Omala area, the largest wine making corporation in the island that vinifies almost the 70% of robola grapes produced annually. Enjoy glass after glass of perfectly balanced reds, whites, and rosés. Cheers!
More than 300 years ago, a strong earthquake revealed the entrance to a miracle of nature: Drogarati Cave, a work of art, an astonishing marvel of more than 150 million years old, crafted gradually by nature. Orange and yellow stalactites hang from the roof like curtains while vitreous stalagmites emerge to form spacious chambers.
Melissani cave-lake gives off a rum appeal, as inside the ‘B’-shaped cave is a lake that has a small island, as well as trees and forests surrounding it. Its two chambers, one sun-lit and the other dark and ominous covered with stalagmites, algae and moss, create a unique and unforgettable picture.
Aghia Efimia is part of the municipality of Pylaros which takes its natural borders from mountains to the north and south and from the sea from West to East. Situated 7 km north of Sami on the east coast of Kefalonia and 30 kms from Argostoli, it is a picturesque fishing village with a well sheltered harbor.
A stop over the dazzling Myrtos beach to take photos will be the highlight to end our tour.

Flexible to meet our needs. Good value for money compared to others. Pleasant driver & knowledgeable about the area. Comfortable vehicle.
Due to the days available of the tours we wanted to do, there was some duplication of the places we would visit. We asked our guide, Demetrios if we could alter the itinerary to avoid duplication and visit other places instead. He was super accommodating, as well as being thoughtful and knowledgeable . The company also kindly allowed him to be flexible. We ended up going to Lixouri via mount Enos, visiting places on the way. Coming back via the ferry and having the best authentic kefalonian meat and cod pies in the process. A memorable day. Thank you
This was a fantastic tour. Dionysis is a great tour, knowledgeable and extremely personable. He showed us some amazing sites as well as learning about the culture. I would highly recommend him and his tour company. You will not find a better tour guide.
Ouan was accommodating and allowed us to choose our preferred sights which were Melessini lake and the near by caves via Mytros beach viewpoint followed by the summet of Mount Ainos. Ouan was a man of few words but he was polite and tried to answer my questions.
Wonderful private half day tour with an informative guide who told us so much about the island and all the sights we stopped at.
We had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide Harry was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We had to switch a stop and he was quick to suggest an alternative that was perfect! We were able to see all the highlights without any stress! It's a must!

He is quite reserved and polite. He took us to many beautiful places. He had a lot of information about the island history.
A part tour of Cephalonia guided by Harris. He is an ultimate professional. Excellent driver and full of interesting information. We enjoyed his company. He selected a varied tour, caves with boat ride, wine making monastery, fishing village and stunning high view of a beautiful beach. Thank you very much.
Thank you 🙏
We went to some scenic places including Myrtos and the cave lake (sorry can’t recall the name). George, our tour guide was a careful driver which we appreciated given the twisting, mountainous terrain. I would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you 🙏
