Top 10 Archaeology Tours in Cephalonia, Ionian Islands

September 24, 2021 Margarita Chappel

The sapphire waters of Cephalonia are steeped with history. The large Greek island was home to Odysseus, the legendary king hailed in Homer’s The Odyssey. Fortunately, it won’t take you ten years to get there. Explore the enchanting caverns of the Drogarati caves, sail to Ithaca on a glass-bottomed boat or marvel at the ancient artifacts inside the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, Cephalonia’s main town. Or just hide from it all at one of the island’s many private beach coves.

This is the second time we have booked accommodation through Avalon Travel. This time we came back to Cephalonia to get married and the gorgeous Nickolette, stamo and Mark took such good care of us and our family and friends whilst we were here. Nothing was to much trouble, they sorted out coach hire for us and our party to and from the airport and to the location of our wedding on the day. The apartments were clean and well kept, we cannot recommend Avalon travel highly enough. Thank you so much. Paul and Hilary.

Enjoy a boat ride across the underground lake of Melissani where sunlight enters the caves, turns the water bold blue and scatters rays of light around the whole interior. Take the chance to admire one of the most photographed beaches of the world, adorning every holiday brochure. Watch the wonderful turquoise waters become lilac and mauve in the horizon.
