What people are saying about Kefalonia

This was a great day out with our guide Theodore who was friendly and helpful, giving us lots of information about the area and answering all our questions. He also volunteered to take family photos at all the scenic viewpoints. The minibus tour was great but the high light of the trip had to be the boat excursion to Navagio (shipwreck) beach where you get to spend an hour before being taken to the blue caves. I was amazed how far they took the boat in to the caves, we were lucky that at one of the caves the water was not too choppy and were able to take a quick swim here too. Theodore didn’t join us on the boat trip but his colleague Kostas was also very pleasant. After the boat trip there is a quick lunch stop at a local taverna which was okay - my wife says her prawns were amazing. A quick stop at the oldest olive tree on the island and then back to be dropped if at our accommodation. A thouroughly good day and I felt it was great value.

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.

这次旅程非常开心,为我们开车的师傅也非常友好,很早就到酒店来接我们,一天行程中也积极与我们交流,给我们介绍当地的历史文化。由于是定制的行程,师傅按照我们的意愿稍微修改了原定路线,把我们希望可以游览的部分都看到了。这里真是一个很美丽的小岛,游客不多,饭很好吃还便宜,当地人都很友好。非常推荐大家来玩。
