Incredible - This tour was perfect in so many ways. The tour guide was so passionate about her home and it was amazing to learn so many things about Kefalonia. We met the coach at the excursion office and were whisked away towards our first stop - Dorgarati. Along the way, our tour guide told us everything that we need to know about the island and its history. When we arrived at Drogarati, our guide arranged tickets for us and explained that we needed to go down a lot of steps - she gave us the option to skip Drogarati tickets and just get some for Melissani but we decided to do both. Our guide told us how long we had in the caves and where to meet her afterwards. The cave was incredible - nothing like anything I’ve ever seen before. After this, we started heading towards Melissani lake. When we arrived there, we were told that it was extremely busy - something that happens whenever a cruise ship is in port on the island - and were given the option to either wait or to head to our last stop and change the order of the tour. We decided to do the latter and headed for Myrtos. We passed through a lovely shopping area which our guide told us all about and apologised that we wouldn’t have enough time to stop - completely understandable given the circumstances, before being taken up to a viewing spot above Myrtos beach - the most INCREDIBLE site I have ever seen. Our guide told us all about how the water becomes that colour and gave us plenty of time to take photos. We then went back to Melissani and joined the looooong queue. Our guide offered to stand in line for us so we could wait in the shade since it was so hot, but the majority of the tour decided to wait in line anyway. It took about 50 minutes to reach the ticket office and then another 20 minutes or so to make it to the lake, but we understood this because our guide explained that everyone who visits the island want to see the lake, and there were a lot of people on the island that day! Once we reached the lake it was magnificent, well worth the wait. When we got back on the bus and headed back to the excursion office, our guide allowed us some quiet time as we were all exhausted. When we got back to the office, our guide told us that the driver was happy to drop us straight back to our cruise ship - amazing! We can’t fault the trip at all and definitely want to head back to Kefalonia again soon, thank you so much for a wonderful day!

She was very educated on the sites and gave us a lot of history while also being mindful of our timing and any needs we might have throughout the day. Prompt and professionial outfit and we would hightly recommend!!
