Assos is lined by pretty coloured houses, a small shady square and the remains of the 15th century Venetian castle up on the hill above the village making it a popular choice for visitors. There is also a small pebbly beach offering clear waters and stunning views across the bay.
Foki Beach is a small, picturesque pebbly cove near Fiskardo, renowned for its crystal-clear waters, calm atmosphere, and dense olive and pine trees providing natural shade. It is highly popular for family swimming and exploring nearby sea caves, often featuring anchored boats.
Fiskardo is the only village which was left untouched by the 1953 earthquake and where the original Venetian style buildings are still visible. This has now become popular with the rich and famous and the harbour is lined with luxury yachts in amongst the traditional fishing boats.
After leaving Fiskardo we will have a leisurely drive back down the coast, stopping for a photo opportunity above the stunning Myrtos Beach.

A day we will never forget

5.00What a day. The day started with being picked up at the hotel by Chris. We were then driven to a viewpoint overlooking Argostolli, then myrtos beach. Chris told us about the history of the island throughout our journey, he is so knowledgeable about the history of Kefalonia. We then headed to Assos, again stopping at viewpoints along the way to show us the area from above, before heading to Assos, a beautiful village. We stopped in Assos for a while, and Chris had kindly brought a picnic and local wine for our stop, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We then went to Fiscardo, and was able to wander around at our leisure. We were then taken to Emplisi beach where we had a swim stop for an hour. Finally finishing our tour at the famous Mellasini lake, which was breathtaking, taking a small boat tour of the lake, before sadly heading back to our hotel. We had a fabulous day, and Chris is a great asset to the company, we wouldn't hesitate to book for a further trip. Next trip is to Argostolli for an evening cruise and shopping/explore, which we are looking forward to.

5.00We had a fantastic day seeing some of this beautiful island in comfort. Our guide Chris was superb. He was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. Chris actually made the day so much better with all the things he shared with us. The little touch with the picnic was brilliant. Asos village was superb as were the views over myrtos beach. The highlight for me though was the caves. So much history. Overall a great day and I would recommend.

5.00I had the best day yesterday visiting Assos and Fiskardo with Chris. His knowledge of the island is incredible, and he made the trip both enjoyable and personalised to my interests. Chris even prepared a picnic for us to enjoy in Assos, complete with traditional Kefalonian cheeses, sausage, fresh bread, and drinks. It was a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more special. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Kefalonia, and I hope you’re lucky enough to have Chris as your guide!
Phenomenal!

5.00Best trip ever! It was the most incredible day of our holiday! We could not have asked for a better guide than Chris, he made the day awesome! It was like being on a day out with a close family friend. It was a trip that could not be beaten and has set the bar extremely high for other trips. We wouldn't hesitate to book a private trip again, especially if we got Chris...if he reads this...thankyou for everything, you are part of what made our holiday magical!

5.00Had the most fantastic day exploring Kefalonia would highly recommend. Yano and Melanie were exceptional guides, wonderful knowledge of the area and even adapted the tour so we could enjoy a more tailored experience. They looked after so well throughout the day and I would happily book again. I would give 10 stars if I could. This is my 4th tour with Melanie who never disappoints, friendly and so enthusiastic about Kefalonia

5.00A very good tour with Christos as our guide. Couldn’t ask for a nicer and more welcoming guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the north of the island.
A wonderful day out.

5.00Had an amazing day out with our driver/guide Chris. The minibus was spotless and very comfortable, Chris was an excellent driver, very knowledgeable. He pointed out places of interest and stopped anytime we wished to take photos, he even brought a delicious picnic for us all. Well worth going on this trip.
Excellent company to show you the real Kefalonia
