Highlights
  • Saint Theodore Lighthouse - We proceed to Argostoli’s “fanari” lighthouse. Governor Napier built Fanari of St. Theodore during the British occupation.its a symbol of Argostoli
  • Sinkholes of Argostoli - Katavothes Sinkholes is one of the world’s most amazing geological phenomena, and it has sparked a lot of debate. Katavothres is along the Fanari road from Argostoli.The sea water rushes through some holes in the rocks on the shore and vanishes underground and ends up at Melisani lake cave and Karavomilos
  • Drogarati Cave - Kefalonia’s Drogarati Cave was found 300 years ago and opened to the public in 1963. It was discovered after a big earthquake caused the cave’s entrance to collapse. Drogarati is a spectacular cave with amazing stalactite and stalagmite structures. This cave, according to speleologists, is roughly 150 million years old and represents a remarkable geological phenomena. The cave is roughly 60 meters deep and maintains a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. The cave’s humidity is high.
  • Melissani Cave - Beautiful and fascinating, Melissani Lake is one of the most stunning highlights of Kefalonia. In the Lake Melissani, you buy the ticket (not included in the price). By boat you will be taken around the lake to the closed part of the cave, passing the islet where the excavations had taken place. At the walls, there are Stalactites and flowstones with bizarre shaping, some with a resemblance to dolphins, as the boatman will point out, dolphins play a role in mythology. The lake of Melissani has not yet revealed all its secrets.
    The water is brackish as many springs supply the lake cave. One of them is the source “Katavothres” which is located on the other side of the island near Argostoli. Part of the cave’s roof collapsed a few thousand years ago due to an earthquake. The daylight falls through this opening, showing the colour of the lake in its deep blue.
  • Karavomilos Lake - Just outside of Sami, in the direction of Agia Efimia, is Karavomilos. A small, charming fishing village with a long, narrow shingle beach and beautiful views of Ithaca. Karavomilos is named after a tiny circular lake near the local water mill. The region is surrounded by rich foliage, which attracts a variety of wildlife such as ducks, swans, and herons. The lake is part of phenomenon of the underground flow of fresh water from Katavothres near Argostoli to the Melissani Lake.
  • Antisamos Beach - Antisamos Beach is definitely one of Kefalonia’s most popular swimming and sunbathing beaches. It located 30.6 kilometers east of Argostoli and close to the port of Sami. we have time to swim here .
  • Divarata - Divarata is small village above Murtos beach we’re we stop to buy souvenirs and get some refreshments

Brilliant day! - What a brilliant way to spend a day in Kefalonia! My husband and I spent the day with Chris, who was so friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable. He kindly picked us up from our hotel and had drinks, snacks and an air-conditioned vehicle ready for us! Chris made sure we got the most out of the day, showing us the highlights of Kefalonia whilst showing us some hidden gems too. The tour was relaxed and we didn't feel rushed which was exactly what we were hoping for. The absolute highlight was sipping wine, tasting fresh bread, feta and sausage with the breath-taking view of Myrtos Beach below us. Thank you Chris for being a top tour guide and for making our day so enjoyable!

A Private Tour is worth it, get the VIP experience - Our guide Cristos was the best! And a Private tour is the ONLY way to go! We beat the buses to everything on the island, no long waits. And we saw so much of Kefalonia, and learned so much between stops. Cristos filled in the gaps and details other guides left out. We also liked being able to vary the schedule as we went. Treat yourself and take this tour!

Full day tour for a couple. - My partner and I did the full day tour of Kefalonia and we had such a great day with George. He was a very considerate driver, and we both felt very comfortable. He gave us just enough information without bombarding us, but was equally happy to answer questions. The sights were a perfect combination (we took the tour as written) Just enough time in each place to enjoy. I couldn't have managed this kind of tour on a bus as I get a bit travel sick, and this was very good value for what we got and a great way to see the island. Very happy with our experience and we hope you have a great summer. 😄

A fantastic tour taking in the stunning sights of Kefalonia - We enjoyed a fantastic day trip with Chris, a real highlight of our week in Kefalonia. The tour took us to parts of the island we'd never have thought to visit, and we saw some spectacular views as well as heard more about the island's history. Chris was an amazing guide, friendly and warm from the outset with a real kindness. From a picnic with local products overlooking the stunning Myrtos Beach to telling us about island life - it was a real pleasure. The tour itself was fantastic value, and something we'd whole-heartedly recommend. Thank you Chris, for making our last full day on Kefalonia a truly memorable one!

Day trip to Myrtos Beach, Fiskardo and Assos - Very relaxed day with our driver George showing us some of the sites of Kephalonia. A drive down to Myrtos Beach where we enjoyed a paddle in the sea and explored the cave then back on the road to enjoy the stunning view of Myrtos Beach white sands and turquoise waters from above. Then onto Fiskardo driving through lovely villages and visiting the local beaches. Fiskardo is well worth a visit, pretty Venetian architecture and many lovely restaurants for lunch. George then took us down the very twisty hairpin road to Assos. What a gem, tiny little very pretty village. We walked up to the castle, a bit of a climb but the stunning views of Assos were well worth the walk. Thanks George for a great trip, the water & juice and of course the wine 😍

Wonderful Tour! - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. George was an outstanding guide, very knowledgeable and kind. The caves were really cool and the beach was beautiful. George took us to a few off the beaten path places to enjoy the sights of Cephalonia. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Cherished memories forever - We had such a wonderful day with George as our guide. Such special memories were made and we loved every second. Each location was outstanding and George was knowledgeable, approachable and a very careful driver. He was very attentive offering snacks and drinks throughout the day. Within the office the booking process was also a 5* experience with the places we wanted to see being tailored into our trip. Thankyou so much for making our tour of the beautiful island of Kefalonia a special one. We will be back.

Incredible tour with a calm, kind and relaxed guide who looked after our every need - An excellent tour with George, so relaxed, knowledgeable and kind. Any questions: George knew the answer, or would find out in seconds. Took us to the best spots and found ways to make our tour seem special even though the big tourist spots weren't yet open for the summer. A careful driver! Every stop off he offered some form of drink or snack from the boot, including local wine. Would highly recommend this tour company both for price, reliability and overall experience.

Experience unforgettable Kefalonia - We had a wonderful day trip to Kefalonia with Christos from Thalassa Travel. Christos is a very pleasant, trustworthy and reliable guide who showed us (5 people) the sights of Kefalonia in a Fiat Doblo in 6 hours, including a picnic! On the way, Christos bought excellent feta and graviera cheese, fresh country bread and a bottle of the famous Rombola white wine and we had an unforgettable picnic above Myrtos Bay with a beautiful view of the bay. In summary, we had a wonderful day in very pleasant company with Christos from Thalassa Travel, whom we can recommend to everyone.

Beautiful island, better than Corfu. - Our guide, Spiros, took us to some fantastic places, including a wonderful little family winery - on Orthodox Easter Sunday. Also a spectacular seaside overlook that I doubt the tour busses get to. We found the island to be beautiful & truly enjoyed the visit. Spiros is a bit inexperienced & doesn't have a firm grasp on local history - however, he was helpful and pleasant.
