Kefalonia flavours tour

4.2/5
29 reviews

Discover Kefalonia's beauty, flavours, and culture on this half-day guided adventure. You'll learn about the island's spiritual side during a stop at a monastery, before visiting a port where wild loggerhead turtles are known to unwind. You'll also head to a shop near here to sample some local goods. One of our local guides, Thaleia, says "loggerhead turtles migrate to parts all around Kefalonia's coastlines in spring to lay their eggs. At Argostoli Port, you've got a good chance of seeing them swimming between the docked boats.

You'll start the tour with a stop at Argostoli Port, where you might see the turtles out and about if they're in the area. Then, you'll visit a local shop to taste olive oil, sweet mandola, honey, and Robola wine. From here, it's on to Agios Gerasimos Monastery.

This place is regarded as one of the most sacred sites on the island, which isn't surprising since it's been around since 1560. You'll visit the monastery and your guide will tell you all about its history and the small community of monks that live there.

    The service, staff (both the lovely guide, Wendy, and the driver, Spiros), and quality of the experience all great. Issue was time: advised it was a 2-4hr tour, but it was close to 9. Wouldn't have taken a child on such a long trip had we known. Value for money is low as we were expecting to be back at our all-inclusive for lunch: instead, we had to spend a lot of money eating out in a restaurant. Overall, tour is good but hugely misrepresented.

    What spoilt the tour massively was when we joined another TUI excursion at agrostoli harbour for the talk and viewing of the sea turtles (this was planned as our guide informed us of this enroute) The real disappointment came was when we arrived at our final stop, Kastro, to view the ruins. The 2nd TUI group arrived at the same time TUI knew there was only 1 restaurant open which meant ridiculous wait times and us leaving our meal unfinished so we didn't miss the return coach This was also late
