Explore the beauty and charms of Cephalonia on a full-day adventure that begins with a scenic island drive through lush olive groves, flourishing vineyards and thick cypress glades. You'll travel up Mount Ainos and past the city of Sami, where Captain Corelli's Mandolin was filmed. Look out your windows upon Melissani Lake, an underground lake fed by subterranean channels. Stop to visit an underground cave via a manmade tunnel. Then, find a small boat rowed by a master oarsman waiting to take you over the lake. The boat passes through a channel whose walls sprout stalactites and whose dramatic ceiling towers more than 300 feet above you. The day continues when you journey to beautiful Fiskardo village, the only settlement not devastated by the 1953 earthquake. Here, you'll enjoy lunch and some free time to stroll past the waterfront studded with tavernas, cafés and shops. Settle in for the relaxing return drive to the port.
