A great opportunity to explore the southern part of Kefalonia in one day!!
The tour starts from the Fanari coastal road, which is billed as the scenic drive between Lassi and Argostoli and continues to the most famous attractions in this road, the Katavothres water wheels and the Lighthouse. Step back in time at the Byzantine monastery of St Andreas where your guide will share tales from Kefalonia’s rich history. The church is believed to date back to the 13th-century. Inside, everywhere you turn is painted with colorful biblical scenes and there’s a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Some of the best views of the island and the neighboring island of Zante can be experienced from St George’s castle, a Venetian fortress dating back to the 16th century. Leaving the castle, the tour continues to a local winery, which is open for you with a guided tour and wine-tasting, after passing by St. Gerasimos monastery. Afterward we make a lunch stop at the place where Hollywood filmed Captain Coreli’s Mandolin, Sami town. Then we will continue at the South part of Kefalonia, Skala and Katelios Village. Skala is one of the most frequently visited resorts with beautiful hotels, taverns, and shops. The cherry on the cake, however, is the beach. Huge in size, it’s drenched in soft white sands that stretch as far as the eye can see. Just as impressive are the brilliant turquoise seas. Time for a coffee at the beautiful port of Poros.
