Description
We start our tour in the morning and visit the Myrtos beach, which is well known for the buest waters, the golden sun, and the wondreful view from the top. We will provide you beach towels free of charge. Our next destination is the 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. On our way back we can stop in Agia Efimia, a picturusque fishing village for a lunch, and return back in Argostoli full of beautifull memories.

We had a wonderful day on our tour of the sights of Kefalonia with Konstantine. We enjoyed every place we went, and Konstantine provided interesting insights and fun along the way, and tailored the day to suit our tastes. The car was super comfortable - air conditioning, towels and water were provided on route. We would highly recommend.
Great tour of entire island. We enjoyed all the history of the island facts. The beaches were beautiful, loved the caves
The locations we visited were fantastic. Underground caves with lakes and stalactites. The views were unmatched. Not only did our guide Costas educate us on so many facts about the destinations, island and culture but he also knew the best photo opportunities for the group. He also knew when things would be less crowded. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about Kefalonia while also enjoying the beach and seeing some really fascinating sites.
Konstantinos was an amazing guide. Very informative and friendly. The experience was so much more personalized than a large group tour through the cruise ship. Highly recommend.
A 6-hour excursion that was just incredible. Thank you to the guide Konstantinos, without whom the experience would not have been the same. A warm, attentive, dedicated person who truly knows the history of the sites visited. Thank you also to Bouchra for the organization and her availability. 5 ⭐️
A truly spectacular experience. Konstantinos was the best guide. It’s well worth it.
There were only four of us, which allowed us to see a lot and explore the island individually. Our guide, Konstantinos, put in a lot of effort to tell us everything about his island. He coordinated the route excellently, so we were not traveling with many people anywhere. His knowledge is very diverse; he not only gave us tips on the best olive oil but also shared a lot about nature and life on Kefalonia.
Great experience and Konstantinos was very informative and accommodating to our needs. Definitely recommend!
We joined the tour on June 2 and had a wonderful experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Kefalonia and took us to all the beaches we wanted to visit. Pentani Beach was especially breathtaking and left a lasting impression on us. As English is not our first language, we really appreciated how patiently and clearly the guide explained everything. He always took the time to answer our questions and made sure we understood, which meant a lot to us. Another highlight was meeting the local guide. He shared many recommendations for local food and beautiful places to visit, and told us a lot about the history and culture of Kefalonia. Thanks to him, we learned so much more about the island than we expected. This tour gave us not only amazing memories and stunning views, but also a deeper understanding of Kefalonia and its people. It was truly one of the best parts of our trip!
Absolutely incredible experience! We were welcomed by Konstantinos with cold water and the whole journey was filled with really interesting facts about the island itself and its history. He took us to some incredible viewpoints which we would have never found had we not taken this trip. We saw so many amazing views from beaches to caves and ended the day with an amazing wine tasting experience. This trip has made us want to come back again and stay in a new part of the island. Would highly recommend!!
