Quick sampling of Kefalonia

Published on Oct, 2024

Excellent tour Tour guide Maria did a very good job Driver Stefanus was impressive on the narrow roads Comfortable bus ride (only 24 in the group) No personal listening devices Guide provides the information (reading the text over the loud speaker on the bus) Visit a quaint old church (can descend into chamber under the floor where a monk used to live) The tastings part is at a store which sells wine, olive oil, snacks, honey They provide small free samples The 2 cave visits were very interesting The tour guide does not accompany you but provides info beforehand and provides the entrance ticket The cave with the boat was particularly impressive Its relatively small (and open at the top) but our ride was about 15 min (fyi the boat paddlers have tip jars prominently displayed) 40 min stop at little lakeside town for lunch A bit tricky in Greece to set, order, eat, pay in 40 minutes…but we did it Final stop is mountain overlook of the famous beach Amazing view Overall—not super rushed but not a listed pace either Zero crowds/lines in October Since I knew what to expect—-excellent tour

Catherine and Kosta were...

Catherine and Kosta were wonderful. We learned a lot about the area and were able to experience a lot in a short period of time.

Excellent trip to do

Published on Sep, 2024

This was such a good trip to do. We visited lots of highlights in the time in a comfortable, air conditioned coach. There were about 20 of us on the trip - all German, apart from the 2 of us (English). It was good value for money, but what made the trip an excellent day, was the guide Katrin. She spoke in German, then English in an interesting way and with humour. It's a trip that we would highly recommend, especially if you get Katrin as your guide.

Kefalonia tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Lovely tour around parts of Kefalonia with our very informative guide. Enjoyed our boat ride on the lake in melissani cave, even serenaded by our rower. The drogarati cave was bigger than I expected, and was lovely and cool on such a hot day. The view of myrtos beach is stunning!
