Argostoli has been the capital of the Kefallonia Region since 1757. It is the island’s commercial and administrative centre, and has beautiful neo-classical buildings. It’s a modern city with a remarkable historic and cultural tradition. Argostoli, built amphitheatrically with a view to the Lagoon of Koutavos, overlooks the fir tree-covered Aenos. Viewing Katavothres which is one of the rarest phenomena: large quantities of seawater penetrate the land at the location of Agii Theodori at Lassi without retrogressing, re-appearing by the village of Karavomylos near Sami.
PHOTO STOP ONLY Myrtos beach, the most beautiful beach on the island and one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, with snow-white sand, a paradise on earth is protected by high rocks while the sea offers sublime combinations with colors ranging from blue-green to deep blue.
PHOTO STOP ONLY Assos is built amphitheatrically around the peninsula, which is surrounded by lush areas. The village retains its authentic traditional Ionian architecture and rich greenery of tall pines and cypress trees meet the blue waters of the Ionian sea, composing an idyllic landscape that only nature could create.
We reach the picturesque village of Agia Efimia. It’s a quiet town sporting wide streets and good urban-planning, with a port where numerous yachts from all over the world flock in the summertime.
Τhe wonderfull cave of the numph Melissani and ancient Greek God Panas. Melissani lake cave has been in kefalonia since mythical times, and first explored in 1951. An earthquake created an opening in the roof, of the lake cave, and that roof allows the limited entrance to the Sun rays and creates an extraordinary scene of blue and turquoise waters.We will visit the interior of the lake cave by boat , and we will also see the small island where our ancestors, held ceremonies dedicated to God Panas and the nymphs.
Antisamos beach is the famous beach from the movie “The Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”, which reveals the magic of Kefalonian landscape. The route fascinates visitor, as we cross one of the greenest parts of the island with towering pine trees. We will stop at an appropriate place to take some photos. The beach is pebbly with white sand and surrounded by green hills. The waters of the beach are azure crystals. The beach is organized with a snack bar, sun loungers, umbrellas, and water sports. Always honored with the distinction of a blue flag.
Drogarati cave is over 100 million years old. Keeping that in mind and looking at the impressive formations, you can try and figure out how old they are: they grow approximately 1 cm in 100 years.
Τhe Holy Monastery of St. Gerasimos in the “Omala” valley. There, twice a year thousands of believers attending to venerate devoutly Saint Gerasimos relic and to pray. The Saints have been attributed numerous miracles and certainly the landscape is very devout.

Constantine the tour guy was great! . Very knowledgeable of the history of the Island Constantine took us to a lovely restaurant called Bellos grill! The food was very traditional! The whole experience was great though out the tour!!
This was an unforgettable trip! We spent such an interesting and enjoyable day exploring Kefalonia, and managed to see and do so much in just a few hours. A very special thank you to our guide, Maria, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate—she shared fascinating insights about the island’s history, culture, and everyday life, which really brought each stop to life. The caves and the underground lake at Melissani Cave were absolutely breathtaking—photos truly don’t do them justice. We also loved visiting the charming villages and enjoying the stunning coastal scenery along the way. From the crystal-clear waters of the beaches to the dramatic views at Myrtos Beach, every part of the tour was perfectly organized and memorable. This is definitely one of the best and most complete tours I’ve ever taken—highly recommended!
We had a shore excursion with one other couple. Driven & guided around the highlights of kefalonia in a smart black people carrier. Every corner we turned produced the most splendid views. As a small group we were able to eat together in a small taverna with the waves lapping only feet away. A wonderful day, highly recommended. Thank you to SevenSailing...
We had a wonderful half day tour eith Bouchra .she showed us a lot of the island and very friendly .thank you Bouchra
This is a well organized and conducted tour in a comfortable van, with a knowledgeable guide. The scenery is exquisite and the underground cave and boat ride a special experience, although there is a long walk on a slope, both up and down. We learned about the history of the Island, geology of the area, and the devastation from the major earthquake. The second cave was basically a large cavern which has been abused by nature and by humans, which added little to the tour. With its 120 steps, it could be skipped.
The guide and driver were. Very helpful and informative and had a great sense of humour My wife has knee problems and was helped in and out the vehicle and encouraged to attend all the visits
Thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased that your day was a memorable one and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
We had a wonderful day in Kefalonia with Costa. We is such a genuine person and is very proud of his country. He did his best to show us the most beautiful places for some photo shoots. Costa picked us up from the cruise port in a lovely comfortable air conditioned van. We visited the Melissani Caves and Drogarati Caves where we were very lucky to be in with no other visitors, a benefit of going on this independent trip as opposed to a cruise ship tour. We went to a winery where we got to taste four different wines along with some Bruschetta, there was no pressure to buy. I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour.
Thank you for your kind review, we are glad you had a great time and wish you a great Summer.
AMAZING!!! Our guide was Isidora. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, funny and great to hangout with. She helped us out with everything you could ask or not ask. During the whole tour she taught us very interesting things about the islands/spots. We left this tour like real Greek people "knowing everything". The spots were great. The only set back was that we wish to have more time at the beach (we had 40 minutes), but it is understandable since we got to see a lot of things and we did have a long ride. I have no complaint about this tour. Definitely worth it 100%.
Thank you for your kind review, we are so pleased that you had a great time and wish you a happy Summer.
One of the best tours I have ever had, we have enjoyed it very much, the staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable,thanks for everything.
Christoff and Nicky were fantastic guides today. We saw so much of beautiful Kefalonia and learned a great deal about its history from Greek Myth right up to the present day. Highly recommended, you will enjoy their company and their knowledge.
Dear Lynda, Thank you so much for your kind words! We are really happy to learn that you enjoyed your time during our excursion! We will be happy to see you again in one of our future plans! Kind regards
