  The tour was a one stop shop of great sights & our driver was outstanding; managing to expertly navigate the tight streets of Kefalonia & the hair raising switch backs! Sadly our tour guide left a lot to be desired. She provided minimal information. We’ve had such knowledgable guides with Viator, she was either not experienced or knowledgable enough. So many missed opportunities to talk about the beautiful land.

  We booked the Half Day Melissani Lake and Drogarati Cave Tour with Myrtos Swim for two through Viator in June. Our operator was Thalassa Travel Group. This was a great tour! George was our van driver and we enjoyed his company. We started out at Drogarati Cave. Wow. Spectacular. There is a walking path through this huge cave, which makes it easy to explore without slippery feet. We spent awhile walking through the cave and then drove to Melissani Lake. Another wow moment. This place is magical. We boarded our rowboat with our fellow tour group members and rode into the middle of the lake. Our guide was very gregarious and explained the geology of the lake to us. It was just amazingly beautiful. We were supposed to go to Myrtos Beach to swim, but it was too choppy and rough to swim, so we detoured to Antisamos Beach. We spent about 1.5hrs at Antisamos Beach, which is an organized beach, swimming and relaxing on the sunbeds with drinks. After the beach we went to a lookout spot that overlooked Myrtos Beach. YET ANOTHER WOW MOMENT. This beach was really something. I’m so glad we got to see the beach from the cliffs above. I can see why it’s such a great location to take amazing photographs. George passed out wine while we took pictures. After enjoying the view, we loaded back into the van to go back to Argostoli. I really enjoyed the sights and swimming and would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the magic of Kefalonia.

• Beautiful tour with amazing guide!

  George our tour guide made a beautiful tour even more fun offering us a lot of unique details about the island, picking up fresh roadside herbs, taking us to hidden gems off the beaten path. This tour was better than expected- the lake cave was unreal and swimming in the various beach locations was perfect. I wouldn’t recommend booking this with a solid end date as it went a couple hours over but very much worth it! After George brought us a bottle of the local wine to dinner which was so thoughtful!

• Absolutely loved it!

  The tour was excellent! The guide was fantastic and very informative, the Melissani cave was gorgeous! We also went to Myrtos beach which was gorgeous.

• No time for Melissani Lake Tour. What did I pay for?

  Extremely disappointed in the outcome of this tour. Our tour started late and the air conditioning on the shuttle van was not operating at the time. We first visited Drogarati Caves. It was a short wait to get in after we paid admission. The 2nd stop, which was the main reason for the booking, was at Melissani Lake. Admission was held up with a 2 hour wait to get in. Our tour guide re-directed to Myrtos Beach, which was were only provided with one hour at the beach. We drove back and returned to Melissani Lake and were met with another long line. The tour was ended and we returned to the cruise ship port. So... we never got to see that main attraction and whole point of the tour. Very disappointed that the tour group did not take into account the wait times at Melissani Lake, and go there first. The tour bus was extremely hot (38 degrees) with no air conditioning. My children grew very hot and frustrated after a long day (5 hours) spend inside the shuttle van.
