Captain Corelli's Kefalonia Tour

4.5/5
336 reviews

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.

    Although much of the tour necessarily takes place on the bus and ferry, Bianca, our tour guide, made the journeys thoroughly enjoyable with her insightful knowledge of the area and entertaining anecdotes. All the points of interest were very engaging, contributing to an overall excellent experience. Kefalonia is a wonderful place to visit and I would fully recommend this trip. I would also like to commend again both Bianca and also the driver for a safe and enjoyable experience.

    Lovely trip but felt a bit rushed. I do get why and appreciate that the wait for the visit to the Melissanicave was just 50 minutes. Apparently 2hrs isn't uncommon. Worth the wait though. A tad bit early in the morning as we had to wait for the ferry for over 1hr which I could have used for breakfast. Boat to Kefalonia was nice The guide was really nice and knowledgeable about Kefalonia, would have appreciated if she would have shown us the way off the ferry like the other guides did though

    Lovely to see Kefalonia. Would have appreciated a swim stop as very hot. Restaurant we were encouraged to go to couldn't cope with the amount of visitors - our sons meals came after me and my husband had finished ours. I would advise others to go find their own place. Otherwise a long day but very well organised and lots fitted in. Kay the guide is great. The lake is beautiful. Worth the money. Good day.

    We had a lovely day out on this tour. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. The caves and cenote were wonderful. The drive around the island took us through some beautiful scenery and our stops were perfectly timed. It’s a long day but well worth doing. We had a fantastic day, and I highly recommend this tour.
