What to expect

Mystical mountains, verdant valleys, secluded coves and azure waters that glitter in the sunlight. Kefalonia is a beauty. Take the ferry across from Zante for the day and then hop on a coach for a tour of the island's most picturesque spots, including Melissani Cave and Myrtos Bay.

Just north of Zante, Kefalonia is an island that's big on beauty. You'll cruise over, watching the mountains and cliffs rise high from the sea to Pessada harbour. Your first stop is Drogarati Cave, where you'll step inside a vast cavern and be dazzled by the numerous stalactites and stalagmites. We'll continue to Lake Melissani for a boat trip across this underground lagoon with aquamarine waters that glisten in the sun.

Next, we'll head to the seaside village of Agia Efimia. Here, you'll have free time for lunch. In the afternoon, there's a photo stop at Myrtos Bay – a famous filming spot from Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Rounding off the trip is some free time in Argostoli, the island's capital.

    This excursion was honestly the best one you could do while in Zante, the island is beyond beautiful and the two activities you can do too more than worth it. You do have to pay for both in addition which is 6 euro for caves per person and 10 euro for lake per person but well worth the price!

    Sent a lot of time on the bus, was a beautiful island and the only thing I could say negative was that there wasn’t enough time in the main town at the end and was dropped there when there all in siesta and 90% of the shops where closed. But with ferry time booked time was tight

    The only downside is the early start and long day but it’s expected due to the distance being traveled The guide and driver were very informative and helpful throughout the day

    Our guide Konstantina and driver Demitrious were excellent. The tour stated 8 hours yet it was 13. This was a very long day. Queuing for 90 mins for the Messalina lake was ridiculous as was 30 Euros for 2 adults and a teen for a 15 min experience. Lunch was wolfed down in a bakery at 15.30, way too late after such an early start. We had a pathetic 20 mins in the capital due to the ferry leaving at 18.00. Agastoli looked lovely yet we saw virtually nothing of it which was disappointing.

    30 mins at the caves is not long enough, by the time you climb down, run round run back up the steps, which is steep understandable, takes away the pleasure of what you have had to quickly look at, needs to be a hour, certainly no time to buy a souvenir.

    Kefalonia is a beautiful island. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The two cave tours were interesting, but there was a fair amount of time spent waiting in line, and both were very busy (maybe as there were cruise ship tours also in Kefalonia that day). The ferry ride was quite lengthy (approx 90 minutes), but there was ample space to sit inside or outside.
