The guide was informative and the event interesting. However, little disappointed with the winery part. It felt rushed to get us to purchase items. Information was good. The Children weren't even offered a glass - no water or juice. Let's face it it would ha least you could do.on a hot day. Yeo on my group weren't the only children attending.
Kefalonians take their traditions seriously, and the feast of St Gerasimos on August 16 is as big as they get. You'll be picked up at your hotel and transferred to the Omala Valley to celebrate their patron saint with the locals. Get the lowdown from your guide on the importance of the feast, wander around a local market, visit the monastery where his relics are held, and round off the experience with a tasting at the Robola Winery.
