From Argostoli – Highlights of Kefalonia & Local Delights
Overview
Explore Kefalonia’s geological wonders, coastal scenery, and local flavors on this extended half-day experience from Argostoli. Begin with a visit to Drogarati Cave, known for its impressive stalactites and large chamber with naturally resonant acoustics. Learn about the cave’s formation as you walk through its atmospheric interior.
Continue to Melissani Lake, where a short boat ride reveals turquoise waters illuminated from above by the sun entering through the open cave roof.
After the cave visits, relax in the seaside village of Agia Efimia. Enjoy free time to stroll along the harbor, have a coffee, or browse small local shops.
Next, experience the island’s authentic flavors with a tasting of local products.
Finish your tour with a scenic stop at the Myrtos Beach viewpoint, one of Kefalonia’s most photographed landscapes, before returning to Argostoli.
