The excursions went very smoothly. The guide kept us well informed at all times and was very well spoken. Kefalonia is beautiful, but there really isn’t much to see. We were lucky to be there at the end of the season, the lines weren’t crazy.

The cave and underground lake were the best part of the tour. But everything took much longer to do than it should have because there was a bunch of groups from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in port. We waited in line for one hour to see the underground lake. Crazy. So try to do the tour when a cruise ship is not in town.

Our experience with Avalon Travel on the "Highlights of Kefalonia" tour was exceptional. Despite the busy crowd at Melissani Cave, the day was impeccably organized, allowing our group of 6 adults and 2 infants to enjoy every moment. The knowledgeable guide, Maria, and seamless planning made the trip unforgettable. Highly recommended for a well-managed and enriching travel experience.

Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful tour guide. Took the time to talk to everybody and answer all of our questions.

The ride along the mountains was beautiful. The ocean water was a gorgeous blue. However, we had a 2 hour wait in the hot sun to get in to see Melissani Lake. The lake water was beautiful, but not worth a 2 hour wait in the sun. They did have a store you could go into and shop while you waited. It had refreshments as well so that was nice. If the wait was maybe 30 min, I would definitely recommend it. This was in the summer, peak tourist season, too. Drogarati Cave was nice and no wait!

Ritu M

Great guide, very knowledgeable! Tough day with queues at the caves, she coped really well. At the end she recommended a great restaurant as well!

David_W

Our guide Patricia was excellent. She made adjustments to some of our stops along the way due to a very long wait to get on the boat ride. The boat ride was worth the price all by itself even though it lasted 10 minutes.

It was nice, the guide (was it Catherine?) Was very nice and knowledgable. My favorite was the lake, amazing! I asked to ve dropped off by the look out on top of myrtos and had a taxi pick me up to go down to myrtos beach, which was amazing!

We were on the island of Kefalonia for 8 days. This is not your touristy area like Santorini or Mykonos. This is the true way to discover Greece. We visited 8 beaches each one with there own unique charm and beauty. The city of Argistoli is great with its shops restaurants and grocery markets. But for us Lixouri was even nicer smaller but the food was exceptional. The ferry ride from Argostoli to Louxiri is 20 minutes and was only three euros for your car and each person. Really not a bad price at all. I am not sure how the accommodations are as we stayed at a friends home up in the mountains . There we found this amazing little restaurant called “Yolanda’s” OMG the most amazing Souvlaki’s I’ve eaten in my life, and the hospitality was exceptionally beautiful made you feel like part of the family. A shout out to our main man Kostas who took care of us whenever we stopped in there to eat or drink. You will definitely need a car to get around this beautiful island. Some roads are tricky, but when you get to the destination it’s worth the ride. Make sure to visit the caves and don’t miss out on your picture opportunities above the amazing beaches . One last thing when parking your car in louxiri, make sure to check the signs as they close the streets for pedestrian traffic only between 7:30 pm and 1 Am. Also, an excursion to White rock beach, and XI beach are a must . If you tour this island, I hope you leave with kefalonia in your heart as we did . Andy & Dawn
