The experience

Assos is the anchor of this tour: the most picturesque village on the island, built around a harbor with views across to the mainland. But the day doesn't start there. You begin with a drive across Pylaros Valley to reach Myrtos Beach on the west side, where the water is turquoise and the cliffs rise sharp above the sand. You get an hour and forty minutes to swim, wade or sit on the beach before the group moves on.

Fiscardo comes next, and it's the only village on Kefalonia that survived the 1953 earthquake intact. The streets hold boutique shops, and the waterfront is lined with taverns serving fresh seafood, traditional local dishes and continental food. You have two hours here: enough to browse, eat a leisurely lunch if you want, or simply sit with a drink and watch the boats. The guide doesn't dictate how you spend the time.

Assos fills the final stop before the drive back. An hour there lets you walk the harbor side, take in the views, and grab a coffee or ice cream. Pickups start at 8:45 from the Electra Hotel and continue through Lassi, Argostoli, Sami, Karavomilos and Agia Efimia, with drop-offs in the same sequence in the late afternoon and evening. The full day runs nine hours from first pickup to last drop-off.

Is this one for you?The tour runs nine hours with three stops and a full drive across the island, so an early start and a long day suit travelers who want to see multiple villages without renting a car. Myrtos Beach gives you swimming time, but you'll spend most of the day in the vehicle or walking village streets rather than on the water.

Can I eat lunch in Fiscardo, or is it included?

What happened to Fiscardo in the 1953 earthquake?

Fiscardo is the only village on Kefalonia that was not affected by the 1953 earthquake, so its buildings and layout remain intact from earlier centuries. The preserved architecture and waterfront make it a distinctive stop on the tour.

Is the guide included, and what language do they speak?

Yes, an English-speaking guide is included with the tour. They travel with the group throughout the day and provide information about the sites and villages you visit.
