Pick-up from Argostoli Cruise Port
- Start your Kefalonia shore excursion with a comfortable pick-up from Argostoli cruise port and enjoy a scenic drive across the island.
Melissani Lake
- Our first stop is the breathtaking Melissani Lake, one of the most famous underground lakes in the world. In ancient times, it was a place of worship dedicated to the god Pan and the nymph Melissanthi. The cave collapsed thousands of years ago, creating a spectacular natural setting. Discovered in 1951 and opened to the public in 1963, the lake is famous for its magical blue waters, especially around midday when sunlight reflects inside the cave. Enjoy a unique boat ride across the crystal-clear waters.
Wine Tasting Experience
- Continue your journey with a visit to a renowned local winery, including the famous Robola Wine Cooperative. Established in 1982, it produces a large percentage of Kefalonia’s Robola wines. Discover the winemaking process and taste exceptional local varieties. We recommend trying the PDO Robola, aged in French oak barrels, as well as rare local wines like Vostilidi and the sweet Glykorogos, made from sun-dried grapes.
Agia Efimia Village

Stroll along the waterfront, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, and take in the stunning views. The village is known for its charming cafés, traditional taverns, and relaxed island vibe.
