Fabulous day trip to Kefalonia
Nefis Travel - Kefalonia day tour from Zakynthos. We were picked up at our accommodation in Tsilivi by air-conditioned bus. Our guide, Orestes, was great fun and full of jokes and useful information. When we reached the ferry port of Agios Nikolaos, we boarded the ferry for a 2- hour trip across to Kefalonia. We were told many interesting facts about the island, stopping at various viewpoints including the fabulous view of Myrtos Beach down below. Melissani Lake was a highlight (an extra 10 euros cost). Lunch was right beside the sea at Karavomilos. A visit to Drogarati Caves was an optional 6 euros. We also visited the Monastery of Agios Gerasimos and the old village of Troianata, before returning to the ferry and back to Zakynthos - a fabulous day tour packed with sights and a wealth of information. Orestes is a 5-star guide - one of the best!

Great day visit to Kefalonia
Long day but worth it! Our driver Pablo and guide Sabina kept us entertained all day with fun and facts about the places we visited. Lots of driving in between places of interest but worth the time. The beach was spectacular with a pebbly beach so take sea shoes, the caves were interesting and very tiring to climb the steps, lunch was great but the highlight was seeing the turtles while crossing the stone bridge. All in all a great day out. Very tired but very happy.

Full-Day Sightseeing Tour of Kefalonia From Zakynthos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.
How much does Full-Day Sightseeing Tour of Kefalonia From Zakynthos cost?
+
Prices start at $129 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 Full-Day Sightseeing Tour of Kefalonia From Zakynthos take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Full-Day Sightseeing Tour of Kefalonia From Zakynthos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 16 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 Full-Day Sightseeing Tour of Kefalonia From Zakynthos?
+
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 Full-Day Sightseeing Tour of Kefalonia From Zakynthos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Sightseeing Tour of Kefalonia From Zakynthos?
+
Around 6 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Sightseeing Tour of Kefalonia From Zakynthos 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, Exclusive Shipwreck & Blue caves Tour : Up to 10 guests, Kefalonia Wine Tour. 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.
