Shore excursion: Drogarati and Melissani Caves with Local Wine Tasting Experience

Explore Kefalonia’s most stunning natural and cultural landmarks on this immersive tour. Begin with a visit to the remarkable Drogarati Cave, renowned for its dramatic stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years. Opened to the public in 1963, this vast underground chamber is not only a geological wonder but also an acoustic marvel, having hosted concerts and legendary performers like opera singer Maria Callas. Its unique formations and exceptional sound make it a truly unforgettable experience for visitors.

The tour continues to the mystical Melissani Lake, known as the Lake of the Nymphs, where you’ll glide by boat through turquoise waters illuminated by sunlight streaming through the collapsed roof. Discover this rare geological phenomenon, where seawater disappears into sinkholes and reemerges days later, creating an enchanting natural spectacle. Next, stop at the iconic Myrtos Beach viewpoint for breathtaking panoramic views of white pebbles, azure waters, and surrounding cliffs, ideal for photography. Conclude your day with an intimate wine-tasting session at a traditional seaside shop, savoring local wines while learning about Kefalonia’s rich viniculture, making this a perfect blend of nature, culture, and flavors.
