KEFALONIA HIGHLIGHTS

It's often hailed as Captain Corelli's Kefalonia and today you will see some of the highlights of this beautiful island. You'll start with a trip to underground Melissani Lake. It was only discovered in 1951 but artefacts from the 3rd-century BC have been recovered here from animal horns to tiles and slates. The 1953 earthquake caused the cave's roof to fall in so you'll get an impressive light display as the sun reflects off the turquoise waters. You can take a rowing boat out onto the lake to get a closer look at the cave's stalactites. Next you'll get a chance to stop for a fabulous photo at one of the blockbuster's most memorable locations the world-famous Myrtos Beach. This mile-and-a-half-long curve of white pebbles is the setting for several scenes of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Your final stop is in Fiskardo village where you'll stroll past brightly-coloured Venetian buildings and waterfront tavernas before heading back to port.
