Description

If you want an unforgettable day on your holiday, you must join us for an excursion to explore the Caves of Kefalonia and Myrtos Beach. We start our tour with a visit to the Nautical Museum, where you can see how the traditional and the ancient ships were built in the past and then we will visit Drogarati, a cave over 100 million years old with stalactite and stalagmite formations. Afterwards, we will have a boat trip around the Lake known also as the Cave of the Nymphs. During the visit in the underground lake, you can enjoy the crystal-clear brackish water which combines archaeology and mythology. The god Pan was indifferent to Melissanthi’s love, and in her sorrow she fell into the lake; therefore, the lake took her name. Then our next stop will be the famous Myrtos Beach for swimming in the turquoise waters where you will have plenty of time to enjoy the beach and the sun (2 ½ hours swim stop). Myrtos is the most photographed area. The beach of a thousand colors, is an organized one with a snack bar, toilet facilities, changing rooms, lifeguards, sunbeds, and umbrellas which you can make use of.
