We went with Panem Tours in Lassi. Absolutely fantastic. Our tour rep a lady called Irina I think! She was great, had lots of knowledge of  Kefalonia of which she passed on.  We went wine tasting, went to Drogarati Cave, Melissani Lake, Fiskado, Assos, Myrtos Beach, Sami and lots more. It was a great day and one word of advice, don't book up your excursions through the travel rep i.e. Thomson etc. Go out to the local ones in the resort where you will get the same excursions but for a lot less. At least a third to maybe half the price.

Had a really good day, although it would have liked to stay longer in some places, but a full and interesting day all the same.You have lunch in Agia Efemia now as Fiskardo is so expensive. Dragaroti caves(beautiful) Mellisani lake(stunning) St Gerassimos monastery(beautiful ceiling/paintings) Rombola winery(interesting, but you can buy the same wine cheaper at the airport on way home!) Fantastic views and time for photos.

I went on this trip with Olympic Holidays. A very long day but worth it with the views of the Island.

just got back from the beautiful island of kefalonia. we went  on the island tour with Kosmar which was 36 euros each picked up from the hotel at 7.45 what a spectacular day started of at the monastary of St grissimos then on to the robola wine tasting. then on to the dragoti caves and messilini lakes(which is an extra 8 euros per person) then a stop on the top of the mountain to look down on myrtos beach which is fantastic (if you get the time drive down its worth a visit)then on to Fiskardo this we did not like, its a long drive in a coach to the top of the island, yet when you get there its just a harbour with loads of yachts and snobs.....................and very expensive.............then there is a two hour drive back to the hotel its a very long day as you are in the coach for most of it. well worth it if you do not hire a car.but beware of the dragoti caves. there are 123 steps which are very high its alright going down but to get back up is a nightmare, only the fit to go down there.

Did this tour with Kosmar. Hilda was an excellent guide, full of information and ready with answers to any questions - I wonder how often she gets asked the same ones!  The caves and underground lake were spectacular - had read about them in a guide book before going so wanted to see them and was not disappointed. Hilda took us to a lovely harbourside restaurant in Agia Efimia for lunch - what a delightful place to stop and so scenic.  Fiskardo was interesting to see for the fact of it having survived the 1953 earthquake but the harbourside tavernas are a bit up market and yachty.  All the scenery along the route was spectacular and the occasional flocks of goats on the roadside added a touch of local colour.

 We did this tour with Panem and were not disapointed. The rep really knew her stuff and informed us of the islands history, legends bird and animal life and was happy to answer any questions asked. for 23 euro's we visted the robola vineyards weher we bought some robola wime(it travels well as we have drank a bottle tonight), the Drogarti caves, the melissani lake, through Sami and onto Fiskado (Lunch is expensive here, howevere the bakery's have some fantasic offerings) then onto Assos and the view point for Mytos Beach, it is a full on day laving at 8am returning at 5.45 but it really is worth it to learn more about this wonderful Island.

We had a great day out. Our guide gave us loads of history about the island. Easy way to see the island. We hired scooters to see the island but we wouldn't have reached all the places on the trip! Few extras to pay which our Rep hadn't told us about-lunch,caves and lake,but nothing too expensive.Brilliant day!

This was a really good trip the only down side was the wine tasting at 9am. Although alot of time is spent on the bus you do get to see some wonderful sights of Kefalonia and out guide on the bus Hilda was really informative and kept us entertained with all her stories. Again watch out for hidden costs as the lake and caves cost extra but again this is one of the reasons for going on this trip so you must pay as they are something you must see

We booked this tour through Etam travel in Lassi. Our guide was Esme and I have to say that on all our trips to the Greek Islands she was the best guide ever. She knows everything there is to know about the island and also provides practical advice. The tour was fantastic and well worth 23 euros. If you book this tour through Etam take Esme's advice about where to eat in Fiskardo - this woman knows about food!

Also did this tour with Esmee from Etam Excursions and it was definitely my favourite trip even though it may have been the most simple it was the most enjoyable. We had an excellent time, unfortunately though you don't go to Assos which I expected but you do drive past it and get some pretty amazing views. Mytros Beach is gorgeous, just wonderful - very much like Zante's ship wreck. Fiskardo is also brilliantand you must visit the Cave and the Lake, they are brilliant. Do not be put off about the large steps into the cave as it is so worth it and isn't even that bad. It looks cool inside, I imagine this place to be somewhere like where the devil lives. But it is beautiful - just red and spiky.

We booked this tour with the Panem Travel Office in Skala, we got picked up from our hotel at 7.00am. We had an english guide called Debbie  who had lived on the island for 15 years, she made the commentary really personal and we came away with a feeling of a real insight into living in Kefalonia, as well as the history of the island.

Stops included in this tour were Robolla Winery, Myrtos Bay, Assos, Fiskardo, Drogorati caves, Melissani Lakes. It is a little hard going being on a coach all day, but the coach was comfortable and was fully air conditioned. This trip cost 18 Euro's per person, which was a steal for all the sights & information received. I really enjoyed it!!!

A good trip to go on to see the sights especially if you can't hire a car or are a little nervous to drive on the mountain roads. We went to Fiskardo - which is a beautiful harbour with nice little shops. Melissani lake which is magical and Drogorati caves. Also the Robolo wine factory and Asos, a little village. We booked the tour through Panem in skala for 18 euros each, which was very reasonable, the tour guide was informative and the driver was excellent, he took it slowly round the mountain roads which made me feel relaxed and confident about his driving. However the coach was a bit old but comfortable enough.
