Delve into the heart of the island's geological history as you explore Drogarati Cave. This ancient masterpiece boasts impressive stalactite formations that have evolved over millions of years. The cave's acoustics are legendary, and you may find yourself enchanted by the echoes of your own footsteps or the occasional drip of water, creating an otherworldly ambiance.

The adventure continues at Melissani Lake, where you'll board a boat to traverse the underground marvel. As you glide over the crystal-clear turquoise waters, sunlight pierces through the collapsed cave roof, casting an ethereal glow on the ancient stalactites and stalagmites that adorn the subterranean chamber.

Pause and breathe in the breathtaking beauty as we make a captivating photo stop above Myrtos Beach.

    The caves and the lake are beautiful, but very short. 30 minutes in cave and 25 minutes at the lake. Your guides were very nice and explained a lot in multiple languages. Very friendly and offered to take pictures.

    Caves are uniques. 220 steps down and 220 back up. Worth it. Not enough time because you are at the mercy of the group in front. We finally had to ask to pass to get back to the bus on time.

  • Great locations - save your money and drive

    The locations were amazing and a must see. The convenience of the pick up was great and our driver Gerasimos was brilliant & safe. Christine could have been more energetic, engaging and provided a lot more insight on Kefalonia. If you have a car - just use that and pay for tickets onsite.

  • fantastic tour!
