Indulge in a half-day, moderately active guided excursion via air-conditioned motorcoach to see the best of Cephalonia. Enjoy a scenic drive through the lush Greek countryside rich with vineyards, olive orchards, and cypress groves. Traverse the slopes of Mt. Ainos and journey past Ainos National Park en route to Sami, the island's busiest port and the setting for the film "Captain Corelli's Mandolin." Visit Fiskardo, a picturesque port lined with pastel-colored houses, for free time to explore the quaint shops, cafés, and tavernas on your own. Take a rowboat cruise of Lake Melissani, the island's largest cave lake. View dramatic stalactites and other rock formations that border its aquamarine waters. Enjoy a photo stop at Myrtos Bay, a gorgeous overlook which features sweeping views of the white pebble bay and Cephalonia's finest beach, where the sea color changes from aquamarine to cobalt blue, contrasting the rocky white cliffs nearby.
