Fantastic tour of the Idland with Sebrina and Pablo excellent knowledge of the Island and the experiences.. I would highly recommend
Nefis Travel - Kefalonia day tour from Zakynthos. We were picked up at our accommodation in Tsilivi by air-conditioned bus. Our guide, Orestes, was great fun and full of jokes and useful information. When we reached the ferry port of Agios Nikolaos, we boarded the ferry for a 2- hour trip across to Kefalonia. We were told many interesting facts about the island, stopping at various viewpoints including the fabulous view of Myrtos Beach down below. Melissani Lake was a highlight (an extra 10 euros cost). Lunch was right beside the sea at Karavomilos. A visit to Drogarati Caves was an optional 6 euros. We also visited the Monastery of Agios Gerasimos and the old village of Troianata, before returning to the ferry and back to Zakynthos - a fabulous day tour packed with sights and a wealth of information. Orestes is a 5-star guide - one of the best!
Long day but worth it! Our driver Pablo and guide Sabina kept us entertained all day with fun and facts about the places we visited. Lots of driving in between places of interest but worth the time. The beach was spectacular with a pebbly beach so take sea shoes, the caves were interesting and very tiring to climb the steps, lunch was great but the highlight was seeing the turtles while crossing the stone bridge. All in all a great day out. Very tired but very happy.
Paulos was an excellent tour guide! He took us all around the island and was very patient. He took us the most beautiful beaches! I am grateful we got to go to Kefalonia and see the beautiful island. Next time we will stay on the island for few days. Great tour! Must do!! Thank you Paulos!!!!!! you are the best!!
Amazing Day 😀 Kefalonia was the best beach I have been to in my life . I live in Australia but this BLUE BLUE BLUE colour was just beautiful. Driver was lovely The swim I’ll never forget . BOOK IT NOW. ❤️❤️❤️ Great day .
Have seen beautiful views, exciting places, good food and a lovely dip in the sea. A very nice and knowledgeable guide! Would definitely recommend this trip if I felt like I had seen / done most of the things at Zakynthos already and was ready to see something else.
Super trip to Kefalonia, thanks to Pablos (Paul). He made this a wonderful experience. Thank you!!! Why I only gave 4 points? The gathering and unloading of participants could have been organised more effectively. Even the lunch was only mediocre. But otherwise really a very great trip and absolutely recommended. 😊😊😊
The tour from Zakynthos to Kefalonia was a disaster. It lasted 12 hours .We left early in the morning , the driver took 2 hours to pick up the participants on an old bus with malfunctioning air conditioning.The same bus was boarded on the ferry to Kefalonia. We have a stop for swimming in Myrtos beach of 20 minutes in the sun and in a spot with dirty water.The driver Pablos forced us to have lunch in a restaurant of his friends even though we wanted to visit Kefalonia.After missing more than 1 hour restaurant the driver got angry with us because we had not spent enough.We saw him take an envelope from the owner of the restaurant. Surely it was the percentage on the receipts.With the old bus we headed to Melissani's cave 2 hours in a row for a ride of 8 minutes. Then we had to go to the caves Drogarati , the driver Pablos made us buy tickets but did not let us in because we had to go back to the port for the ferry.Pablos forced us to buy tickets for the caves in cash by delivering the money directly to him We spent 16 € instead of 13 € as written on the contract.We pointed out the mistake but he started screaming and denying the error.We resumed the ferry and then it took another two hours to unload all the participants in their hotels.CONCLUSION: 11 AND A HALF HOURS OF TRAVEL AND STRESS FOR 30 MINUTES OF VISIT TO KEPHALONIA. A TOUR MADE WITHOUT A TOUR GUIDE WITH THE DRIVER PABLOS RUDE, INCOMPETENT TO DRIVE, ALWAYS TALKING ON THE PHONE AND WITHOUT RESPECT FOR TOURISTS.AVOID THIS TOUR !!
We spent a fantastic day seeing some absolutely wonderful places in kefalonia in the company of Pablos our guide and driver. Pablos was bloody brilliant!! Such a fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide who somehow made the day even more enjoyable. We visited some amazing caves, swam at the most gorgeous beach, ate a fantastic lunch and finished the day off with turtle spotting in the capital. Pablos, thank you for an amazing day and the memories made!! I cannot recommend this trip enough!! Bloody brilliant!!
We did a day trip from Zakynthos to Kefalonia and I must say Pablos and Joshua were very prepared and organized. Despite the many hours of transport we did not weigh because with their sympathy and competence also in explaining what we were seeing the day passed quickly. I really recommend it!
