Kefalonia day tour from Zakynthos or porto pessada in Kefalonia
Kefalonia, with 781 square km, is the largest of the Ionian Islands. Its natural landscape is spectacular. High mountains, deep valleys, lots of caves, strange geological formations, and natural phenomena.
We will pick you up from your resort at approximately 07:00 a.m. and take you to St.Nickolas-Skinari port, where the ferry boat to Kefalonia departs at 09:00 in the morning. Pessada port will be reached at about 10:30 a.m. From Pessada we travel to the St. Gerassimos Monastery, the Patron Saint of the island. Icons aged 500 years, the coffin with the relics of the Saint, and many more are waiting for you. Underneath the church the cave where St. Gerassimos spent most of his life lays there.
After that, we head north through some of the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes, the Drogarati-Cave, which is famous for its stalactites and stalagmites. This cave has such perfect acoustic that Maria Kallas once used it to perform one of her many memorable concerts! From there we will visit Melissani Lake, which is found in a cave with an unusual open roof dome. At noon the water of the lake reflects the sun, so you will be able to experience a wealth of nature’s colors while they row you through the cave by boats.
The next stop is St. Efimia, a romantic village next to the sea. We will stay there for about one hour for lunch in a beautiful tavern next to the sea. After lunch, we travel southwest towards the capital of Kefallonia, Argostoli. In Argostoli, you will have time for a coffee, shopping, or just a walk along with the port. We will have a photo stop above Myrtos Beach one of Kefalonia's most beautiful beaches.
Optional drive around Sami, Lassi for a panoramic view.
Our tour ends back in Pessada where the ferry boat is waiting for us to take us back to Zakynthos.
