Mystical mountains, verdant valleys, secluded coves and azure waters that glitter in the sunlight. Kefalonia is a beauty. Take the ferry across from Zante for the day and then hop on a coach for a tour of the island's most picturesque spots, including Melissani Cave and Myrtos Bay.

Just north of Zante, Kefalonia is an island that's big on beauty. You'll cruise over, watching the mountains and cliffs rise high from the sea to Pessada harbour. Your first stop is Drogarati Cave, where you'll step inside a vast cavern and be dazzled by the numerous stalactites and stalagmites. We'll continue to Lake Melissani for a boat trip across this underground lagoon with aquamarine waters that glisten in the sun.

Next, we'll head to the seaside village of Agia Efimia. Here, you'll have free time for lunch. In the afternoon, there's a photo stop at Myrtos Bay – a famous filming spot from Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Rounding off the trip is some free time in Argostoli, the island's capital.

This excursion was honestly the best one you could do while in Zante, the island is beyond beautiful and the two activities you can do too more than worth it. You do have to pay for both in addition which is 6 euro for caves per person and 10 euro for lake per person but well worth the price!

We liked everything

The coach driver was a superstar! The TUI rep very knowledgeable and friendly. The Island is awesome and the caves are out of this world!!

Sent a lot of time on the bus, was a beautiful island and the only thing I could say negative was that there wasn’t enough time in the main town at the end and was dropped there when there all in siesta and 90% of the shops where closed. But with ferry time booked time was tight

The only downside is the early start and long day but it’s expected due to the distance being traveled The guide and driver were very informative and helpful throughout the day

This was a great excursion, one of the better we made and our guide Kay was excellent!!! I can only recommend this one, SUPER, but it is a long day (we were gone for almost 12 hours) ??????????
