ARGOSTOLI SHORE EXCURSIONS

Discover Kefalonia’s natural beauty, history, and local flavors on this enriching cultural journey designed with cruise timing in mind.

Begin at Katavothres, a unique geological phenomenon where seawater mysteriously disappears into the earth, then continue to the historic Fanari Lighthouse for sweeping views over the Ionian Sea and coastline.

Travel on to the traditional village of Kastro, where stone houses and narrow alleys reveal the island’s past. Guests may choose to enter St. George’s Castle (optional) and enjoy panoramic views across Kefalonia from this former capital.

Next, visit the Monastery of St. Gerasimos, the island’s most important spiritual landmark, set in a peaceful countryside setting. Conclude with a tasting of local olive oils and honey at a cultural boutique—an authentic introduction to Kefalonian flavors.

Finish with a scenic stop at Koutavos Lagoon before returning comfortably to Argostoli.
