FROM €124

DURATION

10:00 AM – 03:00 AM (5 hours)

Are you ready to experience Kefalonia's rich culinary traditions and history by bus? Then The Essence of Kefalonia Tour is perfect for you.

This bus tour starts at the Cruise Terminal meeting point in Argostoli, where our guide will welcome you. After a half-hour bus ride, we arrive at the charming village of Vlachata. This village is home to a family-run bee farm, Michalatos Honey. Here, in one hour, we explore what types of products the Kefalonian bees produce and taste the purest honey in the world, collected directly from their own apiary.

After about half an hour, we continue the tour to Liocharis Olive Mill, a local olive oil producer known for its high-quality and cold-pressed olive oil. In one hour, one of the owners presents the process from olive to olive oil. After this interactive presentation, we continue the visit by tasting the olive oil from a virgin perspective.

Next, the tour leads us to the historical viewpoint of Saint George’s Castle, built in the Byzantine Era and once the capital of Kefalonia. According to many locals, the panoramic view from this castle on the inland region of Livathos surpasses the view from Myrtos beach. Nearby the castle, we see a beautiful and well-loved church that was built in 1580.

Our last (but not least) stop brings us to Gentilini Winery and Vineyards, one of Kefalonia’s most renowned family-owned wine estates. Here, we enjoy a guided tour of the wine production and vineyards, followed by a tasting of local wines. What better way to end this cultural day than with wine? Children could enjoy grape juice instead.

After the wine tasting and tour, the bus returns to the meeting point in Argostoli, where we conclude with a sense of fulfilment.

This tour is available daily but Sunday at 10:00 AM.
