Kefalonian Adventure Island Tour (with winery visit)
Activity Description
Embark on an extraordinary adventure across land and sea, discovering Kefalonia's hidden treasures from dramatic clifftop monasteries to award-winning mountain wineries.
Ferry Crossing & Lixouri City
Your journey begins with a scenic ferry ride from Argostoli across the bay to the Paliki peninsula. Feel the Mediterranean breeze as we approach Lixouri, Kefalonia's second-largest town. Explore the charming main square lined with traditional cafés, browse local shops, and experience authentic island life away from tourist crowds – this is the real Kefalonia.
Kipouria Monastery
Journey to one of Greece's most dramatically positioned monasteries, perched 90 meters above the wild Ionian Sea. The clifftop location offers jaw-dropping panoramic views of vertical coastlines plunging into deep blue waters. Named for the terraced gardens monks once cultivated, Kipouria is a photographer's paradise and a moment of pure Mediterranean magic.
Petani & Myrtos Beach Panoramas
Continue along the spectacular western coast with photo stops at two of the island's most stunning beaches. First, the golden sands of Petani Beach stretch below dramatic limestone cliffs. Then, witness the world-famous Myrtos Beach – perhaps the most photographed beach in all of Greece. From the clifftop viewpoint, brilliant white pebbles contrast with impossibly turquoise waters framed by towering vertical cliffs. These aren't just beaches – they're natural masterpieces.
Agia Efimia Village
Cross back to the main island and discover the charming fishing village of Agia Efimia, nestled in a protected bay. With generous free time, you can:
- Stroll along the picturesque waterfront
- Enjoy fresh seafood at traditional tavernas
- Relax with Greek coffee while watching fishing boats
- Explore local shops and the peaceful harbor
St. Gerasimos Monastery
Visit the spiritual heart of Kefalonia at the monastery dedicated to the island's beloved patron saint. Step inside this peaceful 16th-century sanctuary to admire beautiful Byzantine frescoes, explore the serene courtyard, and learn about the saint who performed miracles here. The monastery's tranquil atmosphere offers a moment of reflection and connection to Kefalonia's deep religious heritage.
Orealios Gaea Winery
Complete your adventure at an award-winning winery nestled on the slopes of Mount Ainos. Tour the modern facilities and traditional vineyards while learning about Kefalonia's signature Robola grape variety. The tasting room offers panoramic mountain vistas – the perfect setting to sample crisp, mineral-rich wines that have won international acclaim. Discover why these wines capture the very essence of the island.
Return to your resort with unforgettable memories of Kefalonia's diverse landscapes, spiritual traditions, and exceptional flavors.
