Detailed itinerary

1

We proceed to Argostoli's "fanari" lighthouse. Governor Napier built Fanari of St. Theodore during the British occupation.its a symbol of Argostoli

2

Katavothes Sinkholes is one of the world's most amazing geological phenomena, and it has sparked a lot of debate. Katavothres is along the Fanari road from Argostoli.The sea water rushes through some holes in the rocks on the shore and vanishes underground and ends up at Melisani lake cave and Karavomilos

3

Kefalonia's Drogarati Cave was found 300 years ago and opened to the public in 1963. It was discovered after a big earthquake caused the cave's entrance to collapse. Drogarati is a spectacular cave with amazing stalactite and stalagmite structures. This cave, according to speleologists, is roughly 150 million years old and represents a remarkable geological phenomena. The cave is roughly 60 meters deep and maintains a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. The cave's humidity is high.

4

Beautiful and fascinating, Melissani Lake is one of the most stunning highlights of Kefalonia. In the Lake Melissani, you buy the ticket (not included in the price). By boat you will be taken around the lake to the closed part of the cave, passing the islet where the excavations had taken place. At the walls, there are Stalactites and flowstones with bizarre shaping, some with a resemblance to dolphins, as the boatman will point out, dolphins play a role in mythology. The lake of Melissani has not yet revealed all its secrets.
The water is brackish as many springs supply the lake cave. One of them is the source "Katavothres" which is located on the other side of the island near Argostoli. Part of the cave’s roof collapsed a few thousand years ago due to an earthquake. The daylight falls through this opening, showing the colour of the lake in its deep blue.

5

Just outside of Sami, in the direction of Agia Efimia, is Karavomilos. A small, charming fishing village with a long, narrow shingle beach and beautiful views of Ithaca. Karavomilos is named after a tiny circular lake near the local water mill. The region is surrounded by rich foliage, which attracts a variety of wildlife such as ducks, swans, and herons. The lake is part of phenomenon of the underground flow of fresh water from Katavothres near Argostoli to the Melissani Lake.
