Dit kun je verwachten

Deze excursie van een halve dag staat in het teken van de natuur, smaken en cultuur van Kefalonia. Dankzij je gids kom je meer te weten over de spirituele kant van het eiland tijdens een stop bij een klooster. En je bezoekt een haven waar onechte karetschildpadden vertoeven. Je gaat ook naar een winkel in de buurt om lokale producten te proeven. Een van onze lokale gidsen, Thaleia, vertelt: “In het voorjaar migreren onechte karetschildpadden naar de kust van Kefalonia om hun eieren te leggen. In de haven van Argostoli heb je een goede kans om ze tussen de aangemeerde boten te zien zwemmen.”

Eerst ga je naar de haven van Argostoli, waar je met een beetje geluk de schildpadden spot als ze in de buurt zijn. Daarna bezoek je een lokale winkel om olijfolie, zoete mandola, honing en Robola-wijn te proeven. Van hieruit ga je naar het klooster van Agios Gerasimos.

Deze plek bestaat al sinds 1560 en wordt beschouwd als een van de heiligste plekken van het eiland. Je neemt een kijkje in het klooster en je gids vertelt je alles over de geschiedenis en de kleine gemeenschap van monniken die er wonen.

Premier Kefalonia Tour with Lake Melissani, Boat Trip and Taverna Lunch

Kefalonia was just one of seven beautiful Ionian islands until Captain Corelli came along with his mandolin and sprinkled some Hollywood glamour on its shores. But there's more than silver screen glitz for you to uncover on this fun tour. Jane, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll hear all about the fascinating history, Greek mythology and love stories of Kefalonia.'Your adventure kicks off underground at Lake Melissani. The ancient Greeks called it the Cave of the Nymphs. It's quite the experience to glide over its glistening waters, piloted by a friendly local. We'll then pass Sami, the fishing village in which Nicolas Cage's Italian soldier fell in love with local doctor's daughter Penelope Cruz. Next up is a pit stop at Agia Efimia, where you'll have some time to poke around the shops before boarding a boat for a cruise.We'll sail along the northeastern coast of Kefalonia – all pine-clad hills punctured by hidden coves of pebbly beaches. There'll be a pit stop on Amoudi beach for a chance to swim, before docking in Fiskardo, where you'll drop into a family-run taverna for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients. This tiny port of pastel-coloured houses and flower-filled stone streets is ‘proud of its Venetian architecture and Roman heritage', says Jane. In the afternoon, you'll visit the untouched perfection of the village of Assos and stop by Myrtos beach – one of the stars of Captain Corelli – for a photo. 'Many rate it as one of the world's most beautiful beaches', adds Jane.

Discover Kefalonia with Lake Melissani and Fiskardo

Natural wonders, impressive beaches and pretty villages – when it comes to sightseeing, Kefalonia is an A-lister. And on this full day bus tour, you'll see some of its best bits, both above and below ground. Lake Melissani, Drogarati Cave, Fiskardo and Agia Efimia are all on the menu, as well as a photo stop at Myrtos Bay. Georgios, one of our local guides, says, ‘With around 250km of coastline, Kefalonia is home to some of the very best beaches in Greece. But if you can tear yourself away from the pristine sands, there's tonnes more to see and do.'You'll kick off your adventure on Lake Melissani, for an underground boat trip to Melissani Cave. When sunlight shines in through the opening of this cave, it creates a glistening fluorescent hue on the water below – it's a sight to behold. Georgios says, ‘There are many myths and legends surrounding the history of the lake. Some say it was named after Melissanthi, whose spirit still haunts the cave to this day. Others say it was discovered by a shepherd, who chose to spend the rest of his days here.' You'll also stop by the nearby Drogarati Cave for a chance to see its stalactites and stalagmites.Next up is a short visit to the port of Agia Efimia, before we hit Fiskardo. Here, you'll have around two hours to explore the fashionable fishing village, do a spot of souvenir shopping or grab a bite to eat in one of its many pastel-coloured tavernas. You'll round off the day at a viewpoint overlooking Myrtos beach. Lapped by clear blue waters, it's one of the most photo-worthy spots in Greece.
