A perfect day in Kefalonia - Absolutely perfect day in Kefalonia! Jerry was a perfect tour guide as he told us all about this majestic island. It was surreal and a “pinch me” moment as we stood over and looked down at Myrtos Beach and then again as we dipped in the Ionian Sea at the fisherman’s village of Fiscardo. We topped it all off by taking a private boat ride into Drogonati cave. I’ve never seen such beauty in all of my life. I 1000% recommend this private tour. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful Kefalonia! - Kefalonia was a beautiful surprise! Demetrius met our group (6 adults) at the port. Transportation was in a very comfortable, air conditioned van. Demetrius was able to get us to Lake Melissani before the tour buses started showing up, so we had no lines! Toured Myrtos and made our way to Fiskardo. We spent about an hour shopping and having a drink in Fiskardo. We were transported back to the port to get on the ship. Our tour with Demetrius gave us so much more knowledge of the island than we would have received on our own.
