Full description
Begin your private tour in Kefalonia with a pickup from your hotel or the nearest accessible location, and then spend the day exploring one of the most beautiful islands of the Ionian in a deluxe and comfortable vehicle with an experienced local driver/guide. First, travel to the southern part of the island and visit the well-known village of Valsamata. There, you will have the opportunity to visit the Monastery of St. Gerasimos, the largest religious monument in Kefalonia having been established in 1560 by St. Gerasimos, the patron saint of the island. The next stop is at Robola Wine Cooperative, where you can sample some delicious locally-produced wines. Afterward, stop at Drogarati cave to observe the amazing stalactites and stalagmites that give the place the feel of a natural cathedral. The cave is 150 million years old and is well known for its spectacular acoustics. Continue with a short boat ride in Melissani Lake, known as the Cave of the Nymphs. This sublime underground cave lake with crystal blue waters and marvelous geological formations will transport you to a world of ethereal beauty and atmospheric landscapes. The last stop will be at the tranquil and colorful village of Agia Efimia where you will have free time to stroll around. Explore the pretty little harbor with numerous tavernas, restaurants, and cafes, a shelter for yachts from all over the world, is ideal for lunch or dinner. On the way back to your hotel, stop at the breathtaking Myrtos Beach Viewpoint. This is the perfect spot to capture stunning photographs, with the azure waters and the dramatic cliffs forming a backdrop you won’t soon forget.
Your private tour will conclude with a drop-off at the point where you were picked up.
