What to do and see in Cephalonia, Ionian Islands: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
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.

Walk Through a Honeybee Hive with a Local Beekeeping Expert. Don a suit and head into an apiary, where you’ll see an open hive and hold a frame of live bees; conclude your visit with honey tastes. Weather permit it !!!
Reviewed By WiganMrEdwards
????????????A must to do while your in Kefalonia, you will love the vast experience of Eleni & Thanassis as they take you on a tour of the bees and tell you all about the journey they take in life, one word is fascinating, once you’ve had a cool drink and things explained, you dress in a beekeeper suit and taken to see the bees and then the laboratory to see how the honey etc is processed, then you get to taste and buy products if you wish. We felt sad to go because they make you feel so welcome. Got to be No1 attraction in Kefalonia ????????????
6. Fteri Beach

We got to Fteri Beach in September 2019 and parked our car right next to the goat farm. We walked around 40min to this wonderful beach where both the way and the way back of red and green points were marked. The path is also suitable for inexperienced hikers but has steep slopes and you should have sturdy shoes. So, if you‘re up for kind of an adventure, the beach is absolutely worth the walk. Otherwise, you can take the water taxi which is also absolutely worth the money.

So nice! Operated by the owner family who also make all the models by hand. The owner and his son also take their time to guide visitors through their museum and explain all details and important things. Not a huge museum, but owned and run by friendly people with their hearts in the right spots.

9. Myrtos Beach
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Brewsteronthebeach
A beach so spectacularly blue you have to pinch yourself hour after hour to check you are not dreaming. The water is immensely clear and the blueness goes on forever. It is a cove surrounded by luscious green mountains - with mountain goats for added Greek authenticity and the white sand is like silk upon the soles of Your feet. The waves are strong and the current powerful which makes it difficult to get out for a swim but it is immensely fun playing around in the waves on the vast shoreline. There are umbrellas and sun beds for a small fee of 3.50 each and a little beach bar with showers and toilets. I would recommend getting here before midday as the car park got quite busy. On the way down to the beach you must stop off at the viewpoint and film the panoramic views of the mountains meeting the ocean - I have never seen a view like it. Only A couple of warnings would be there are paragliders which land on the beach so be careful to stay out of there way and be careful with children playing in the sea without an adult. As I said the waves are powerful and will. Drag you under if you are not careful. I cannot recommend a beach to go to more highly than this for a perfect peaceful and fulfilling day on your travels.
