Itinéraire
La première étape est la remarquable grotte de Drogarati, un chef-d'œuvre naturel vieux de plus de 150 millions d'années. Vous flânerez dans ses vastes chambres, vous émerveillerez devant les stalactites et les stalagmites complexes, et découvrirez l’acoustique unique de la grotte, qui en fait un lieu de prédilection pour les spectacles musicaux. Votre Guide vous expliquera également l'histoire géologique et les légendes locales associées à ce monde souterrain fascinant.
Ensuite, vous visiterez le lac magique Melissani, un lagon souterrain caché entouré de mythologie. Embarquez à bord d'une petite chaloupe, vous glisserez à travers les eaux cristallines tandis que la lumière du soleil coulera à travers le toit effondré de la grotte, créant un superbe étalage de bleus et d'émeraude chatoyants. En admirant la beauté sereine du lac, votre Guide partagera la légende de la nymphe Melissani et les mythes liés à ce site enchanteur.
Après l’allure mystique du lac, la visite se poursuit jusqu’à la plage de Myrtos, l’une des plages les plus emblématiques de Grèce. Célèbre pour son rivage de galets blancs et ses eaux turquoises saisissantes, Myrtos offre le cadre idéal pour une baignade rafraîchissante, un bain de soleil ou tout simplement pour se détendre en admirant le paysage à couper le souffle. C'est également un endroit idéal pour capturer des photos mémorables de la beauté naturelle de Céphalonie.
La dernière étape de la visite est une dégustation des délices locaux de la Céphalonie. Dans une boutique traditionnelle, vous dégusterez une sélection de friandises authentiques, notamment du miel, des fromages, des bonbons et d'autres spécialités régionales. C’est une merveilleuse occasion d’en apprendre davantage sur les traditions culinaires de l’île, d’en savourer les saveurs uniques et peut-être d’emporter quelques souvenirs savoureux à la maison.

We had an absolutely brilliant day with [Kefalonia Excursions] visiting the monastery, vineyard, Drogarati Cave, Melissani Lake, Fiscardo, and the incredible viewpoints over Myrtos Beach. Our guide Wendy was outstanding throughout the trip. She was extremely knowledgeable and brought the island to life with fascinating stories about the saint of Kefalonia, the history of the devastating earthquakes, and plenty of insight into local food and traditions. Her storytelling made every stop much more meaningful and memorable. Wendy, originally from Derby in the UK, has lived in Kefalonia for 13 years, and her passion for the island really shows. She shared so much local knowledge that you wouldn’t get just travelling around on your own. Our driver Dimitri was also excellent — very skilled, calm on the mountain roads, and made the whole journey feel safe and comfortable. Me and my girlfriend had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kefalonia. A perfect way to see the island’s highlights while learning about its culture, history, and people.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review. We are absolutely delighted to hear that you and your girlfriend had such a fantastic day exploring Kefalonia with us. It’s lovely to know you enjoyed the variety of stops on the tour, from the monastery and vineyard to Drogarati Cave, Melissani Lake, Fiscardo, and the breathtaking viewpoints over Myrtos Beach. Kefalonia truly has so much beauty and history to offer, and we’re so pleased this came across during your experience. Your kind words about Wendy mean a great deal. She is incredibly passionate about the island and loves sharing its history, traditions, and local stories with our guests, so it’s wonderful to hear that her knowledge and storytelling helped make the day even more meaningful and memorable for you. We’re also very happy to hear your compliments for Dimitri. The island’s mountain roads certainly require experience and care, and we’re glad you felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing Kefalonia Excursions. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you both back to the island again in the future.
We went on the bus tour to the north of the island stopping off for wine tasting then on to the monastery (which unexpectedly opened). The Drogarati caves are quite amazing. There were only five of us from our tour that went in but they are well worth a visit. Melissani Lake is another must visit place. Lots of beautiful scenery and another harbour side stop for lunch. Lots of information from our guide Maria. All in al a great day out.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed the northern island tour and all its beautiful stops — from the wine tasting and monastery to the Drogarati Caves and Melissani Lake. It’s wonderful to know Maria helped make the day informative and memorable. We’re delighted you had such a great experience and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
This tour was perfect in so many ways. The tour guide was so passionate about her home and it was amazing to learn so many things about Kefalonia. We met the coach at the excursion office and were whisked away towards our first stop - Dorgarati. Along the way, our tour guide told us everything that we need to know about the island and its history. When we arrived at Drogarati, our guide arranged tickets for us and explained that we needed to go down a lot of steps - she gave us the option to skip Drogarati tickets and just get some for Melissani but we decided to do both. Our guide told us how long we had in the caves and where to meet her afterwards. The cave was incredible - nothing like anything I’ve ever seen before. After this, we started heading towards Melissani lake. When we arrived there, we were told that it was extremely busy - something that happens whenever a cruise ship is in port on the island - and were given the option to either wait or to head to our last stop and change the order of the tour. We decided to do the latter and headed for Myrtos. We passed through a lovely shopping area which our guide told us all about and apologised that we wouldn’t have enough time to stop - completely understandable given the circumstances, before being taken up to a viewing spot above Myrtos beach - the most INCREDIBLE site I have ever seen. Our guide told us all about how the water becomes that colour and gave us plenty of time to take photos. We then went back to Melissani and joined the looooong queue. Our guide offered to stand in line for us so we could wait in the shade since it was so hot, but the majority of the tour decided to wait in line anyway. It took about 50 minutes to reach the ticket office and then another 20 minutes or so to make it to the lake, but we understood this because our guide explained that everyone who visits the island want to see the lake, and there were a lot of people on the island that day! Once we reached the lake it was magnificent, well worth the wait. When we got back on the bus and headed back to the excursion office, our guide allowed us some quiet time as we were all exhausted. When we got back to the office, our guide told us that the driver was happy to drop us straight back to our cruise ship - amazing! We can’t fault the trip at all and definitely want to head back to Kefalonia again soon, thank you so much for a wonderful day!
Thank you so much for your detailed review & we are so happy you loved Kefalonia as much as we do and we cant wait to see you again soon!
This excursion was perfect for us. Half day and made it back to cruise ship with time to spare. Caves and beach were exactly what we wanted to see and our guide was awsome! She was very educated on the sites and gave us a lot of history while also being mindful of our timing and any needs we might have throughout the day. Prompt and professionial outfit and we would hightly recommend!!
