Mystical mountains, verdant valleys, secluded coves and azure waters that glitter in the sunlight. Kefalonia is a beauty. Take the ferry across from Zante for the day and then hop on a coach for a tour of the island's most picturesque spots, including Melissani Cave and Myrtos Bay. Just north of Zante, Kefalonia is an island that's big on beauty. You'll cruise over, watching the mountains and cliffs rise high from the sea to Pessada harbour. Your first stop is Drogarati Cave, where you'll step inside a vast cavern and be dazzled by the numerous stalactites and stalagmites. We'll continue to Lake Melissani for a boat trip across this underground lagoon with aquamarine waters that glisten in the sun. Next, we'll head to the seaside village of Agia Efimia. Here, you'll have free time for lunch. In the afternoon, there's a photo stop at Myrtos Bay – a famous filming spot from Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Rounding off the trip is some free time in Argostoli, the island's capital.

Fun day tour
Our tour guide (Kay) was friendly, has a lot of knowledge with tips and was well organized because of a cruise that was also on its way to the Melissani Cave. She had changed the schedule a bit so that we would not stand in line with the people of the cruise and therefore there was no waiting time of 1.5 hours for those 10 minutes in the cave! We could immediately walk through and quietly enjoy the surroundings, it was incredibly beautiful, as was the Drogarati Cave! The tour took a very long time (07:10 pick up to 21:00 drop off at the hotel) but you cannot escape that with a large group. All in all a fun and enjoyable day.
Response from the operator: Dear Nick, Thank you for your very positive feedback. Your comments are very important for us to improve our services and we are glad you were satisfied with our services. We hope to be your choice for your future holiday destinations. Kind regards, Customer Service team

:(
We recently went on a 13-hour tour with Kay, who had a wealth of knowledge about the history of the places we visited. However, despite her expertise, the experience was far from enjoyable. Our group consisted of four people, and we often felt ignored by her. For instance, when she asked how many ferry tickets we needed, I responded with "four," and she replied in an unacceptable tone, almost shouting, "How many children?" This was particularly frustrating as I was standing there with my only child. On the bus, she asked how many cave tickets we wanted, and after the previous incident, I told her we needed one child and three adult tickets. Again, she snapped back with a tone that made it seem like I had upset her, responding, "Four then." This pattern continued throughout the 13-hour journey, as she repeatedly asked the same questions. It’s understandable to forget details, but her attitude made it feel personal, especially since she was kind to other members of the group. As a Hungarian fluent in English, I felt singled out. The tour did have its beautiful moments; some guests seemed to enjoy the stunning views from the bus. However, for those who prefer to explore places in-depth, this tour was not ideal. For instance, we went up to see the beautiful Myrtos Beach but had only about five minutes to take pictures from a distance. Our time in the capital was limited to just 30 minutes, which felt rushed. We also had an hour for lunch, but Kay took us to a restaurant that seemed to have additional charges, possibly service fees, which was another disappointment. Additionally, she suggested that if anyone was late, she would leave them behind, which created unnecessary stress. Although we were never late, she often seemed eager to get on the bus about 10 minutes early, adding to the rushed feeling of the tour. Many people around us shared the same sentiment, feeling that the tour was too hurried. While the views were beautiful and Kay’s knowledge was impressive, the overwhelming stress and lack of consideration for our group’s needs made the experience less enjoyable. By the halfway point, we were all feeling worn out and just wanted to go home. Given these issues, I don’t think I would book another tour like this again.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued guest, Thank you for your feedback and the time you have dedicated to write it. We are very sorry to hear that this service did not meet your expectations and needs. Nevertheless, your comments really matter to our local team to whom we will communicate all of your comments and this will help us to improve our services by applying the corrective actions. Kind regards, Customer Service Team

Long day but best way to see Kefalonia highlights in a day!
Led by Kay our informative and friendly guide we took the ferry from Zante to Kefalonia, next we went down around 180 steps into the huge Drogarati caves with majestic stalagtites and mites, then a boat trip on the underground lake at Mellisani cave, lunch in Agia Efimia, a photo stop at Myrtis beach (Captain Corelli fame) and we spotted a Loggerhead Turtle in Argostoli Marina before getting the ferry back!
Response from the operator: Dear guests, thank you so much for your review. We are very happy you had a lovely day with us. Your opinion is greatly appreciated. kind regards, Angeliki Vossou Zakynthos excursions department.

Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.
How much does Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante cost?
+
Prices start at $66 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zakynthos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zakynthos is not rushed.
Is Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zakynthos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zakynthos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zakynthos and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zakynthos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zakynthos?
+
On Outty we rank every Zakynthos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ceramic Making Experience in Zakynthos, Half-Day Greek Cooking Class of Zakynthian Culture with Lunch, Zakynthos Turtle Tour Small Group Turtle Spotting & Turtle Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zakynthos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zakynthos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Corelli's Kefalonia Island Tour from Zante?
