What people are saying about Antisamos Beach

Great experience. Harris was amazing, really informative and customised the tour for us. Was able to answer all questions thrown at him, and even helped out with further recommendations. Only minus i have was that the wine tour was our first stop in the morning - was hoping for a little more from this part of the tour. I would still very much recommend.

This must be the best tour I have ever done. You get to see all the main attractions of the island and explore the caves and beaches around Kefalonia with a great guide. The visit to the vineyard is amazing as you’re surrounded by an incredible landscape while tasting some of the best wine I have ever had. The organization of the tour is impeccable!

It was an amazing trip with Dani (tour guide). He was very kind and explained history and showed so many nice places with beautiful views.I liked the cave and lake. I really enjoy time in Kefalonia.

The day was excellent. We were able to see much of the island. Fiskardo was beautiful and the winery lovely. Our driver was amazing- he couldn't do enough to help us.

Great experience! Got to see most of the island in a luxury van. The guide was friendly and informative without being intrusive to our experience.
