Our day trip to Kefalonia was amazing! Our driver and tour guide (Pavlos I think it was), was so friendly and knowledgeable. Kefalonia was beautiful and it was great to see all the main attractions in one day. Definitely recommend!

Full description

Experience the best of Kefalonia on an unforgettable full-day tour from Zakynthos! Start with a convenient pickup from your accommodation and head to Skinari, where you’ll board the ferry departing at 9:45 AM. Upon arrival at Kefalonia’s Pessada Port, you’ll pass by the historic St. Gerasimos Monastery before diving into the island’s natural wonders.

Your first stop is Drogarati Cave, renowned for its captivating stalactite and stalagmite formations. Then, journey to the serene Melissani Lake, where a hidden underground lake shimmers under the sunlight. Continue to Agia Efimia, a picturesque coastal village, where you’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch with scenic sea views.

Next, head south to Myrtos Beach, one of Greece’s most photographed beaches. Weather permitting, capture incredible photos or take a refreshing swim in its azure waters.

After a day full of exploration, return to Pessada for your ferry back to Zakynthos, with drop-off at your accommodation around 8:00-9:00 PM. Join us for a seamless, scenic adventure across the largest Ionian island!

Great day, we did lots we would not have done under our own steam. Be aware that the caves have lots of steps, so not so good for disabilities but worth it if you can manage it. The swim stop has NO shade at all so be prepared for very hot days. Whole day ran like clockwork. Mini bus was comfortable with great air con. The turtles were a great surprise. Pavlos knew his stuff and was very knowledgeable about this lovely island. We would thoroughly recommend.☺️
