It was a nice day trip. The stops where a little short (only 30 min at everything, which was enough time for the cave for example, but not that much for Argostoli) but we saw a lot. Even some turtles in Argostoli. All in all I would totally recommend this trip to get some impressions of Kefalonia!
Dear Nina, Thank you for sharing your impressions of the Kefalonia day trip. We’re glad you enjoyed the variety of stops and the chance to see turtles in Argostoli, such moments make the experience truly memorable. While some stops are brief to fit in as much as possible, we hope you felt the beauty of the island throughout the day. We’d be happy to welcome you again on another Cretan Holidays excursion to explore even more wonderful destinations!
