Before taking your Kefalonia villa holiday have a read about some of the amazing things on offer here.
World famous Myrtos Beach

Daytrip to the Caves!
A Kefalonia villa holiday just wouldn’t be as exciting without a day trip out to the island’s most famous attractions!
The Drogorati Cave was discovered around 3 centuries ago after an earthquake uncovered an entrance to the cave. This extraordinary cave system was opened to the public for the first time very recently in 1963 and has since developed into one of the most popular visitor attractions on the island! Close by you’ll also find the famous Melissani Cave and Lake; Take a boat ride through a long tunnel into the Melissani Cave where a large opening at the top of the cave allows floods of sunlight creating colourful and bizarre light displays in the clear waters. Due to the close proximity of both caves guests can visit both in the one trip if they choose to. For those who book a Kefalonia villa holiday this is a must visit attraction as cave systems as fascinating yet as natural as these are incredibly scarce today.
Take a Sun Cruise
During your Kefalonia villa holiday be sure to head out on a Sun Cruise! You’ll love the fantastic choice of boats provided but for most the glass bottom boats win this one hands down!
