What people are saying about Kefalonia

This was a great day out with our guide Theodore who was friendly and helpful, giving us lots of information about the area and answering all our questions. He also volunteered to take family photos at all the scenic viewpoints. The minibus tour was great but the high light of the trip had to be the boat excursion to Navagio (shipwreck) beach where you get to spend an hour before being taken to the blue caves. I was amazed how far they took the boat in to the caves, we were lucky that at one of the caves the water was not too choppy and were able to take a quick swim here too. Theodore didn’t join us on the boat trip but his colleague Kostas was also very pleasant. After the boat trip there is a quick lunch stop at a local taverna which was okay - my wife says her prawns were amazing. A quick stop at the oldest olive tree on the island and then back to be dropped if at our accommodation. A thouroughly good day and I felt it was great value.

Excellent tour with good entertainment options and local knowledge. Here is my general observation, below, specifically about the shipwreck beach in Zackynthos: This beach is spectacular but I couldn't appreciate it from top to bottom. This is another must stop and if you really plan to visit it is recommended a hat and sunscreen. In addition, many excursion boats arrive at all times to take tourists, so for better enjoyment, go early or after mid-afternoon, but go. I'm sure you won't regret it.

We had a very nice day. Shortened due to a plane to catch which is a shame but our guide was able to show us everything in due time. Great

Great day, friendly staff. Lovely food, plenty of Wine Loved the music

just loved it, friendly, informative and a really unforgettable day.
