The Caves....Drogarati Cave and Melissani Lake
Overview
Explore two of Kefalonia’s most impressive natural wonders on this half-day tour from Argostoli. Begin with a visit to Drogarati Cave, known for its dramatic stalactites, large chambers, and impressive acoustics. Learn about the cave’s geological formation as you walk through its atmospheric interior.
Continue to Melissani Lake, a unique underground lake illuminated by sunlight streaming through the open cave roof. Board a small rowing boat and glide across the crystal-clear turquoise waters as your guide shares the mythology and history of this enchanting site.
After the cave visits, enjoy a scenic drive and a short photo stop above Myrtos Beach, one of Greece’s most iconic viewpoints. Capture the famous contrast between white cliffs and deep blue sea before returning to Argostoli.
The schedule is well suited for cruise passengers arriving at Argostoli Port, while also providing a memorable and easy sightseeing option for independent travelers exploring Kefalonia.
