A Unique Experience. - A fun, relaxed and well planned tour through the green slopes of Ainos to reach the mesmerizing Lake of Melissani, and the Drogarati Cave. The excursion ended in the best way possible; a swim at the breathtaking beach of Myrtos. The whole experience wouldn't be so wholesome without our kind and helpful tour guides Maria and Sandra, who, through 4 languages in total (Greek, English, Italian and Spanish), managed to emerse us into the local culture, history, mentality and lifestyle by providing us with exciting details. Extra applauds go to our bus driver Mr. Giorgos who drove us safely and smoothly around the rough terrain of the specific mountainous area of Kefalonia. Keep up the good work, everyone! 👌 Highly recommended.
