Best experiences to include

A strong Kefalonia tour usually combines more than one travel mood. One part may focus on famous landmarks such as Myrtos Beach or Melissani Cave, while another may highlight the beauty of Assos or the harbor atmosphere of Fiskardo. The most memorable tours are not only about photo stops, but about the rhythm of the island: scenic driving, swimming breaks, village walks and the sense of discovering places gradually throughout the day.
