Quick answer: Yes — you can see the best of Kefalonia, the island next door, in a single full day from Zakynthos. The route links the Drogarati Cave, the underground Melissani Lake, the capital Argostoli, the Agios Gerasimos monastery and the famous Myrtos Beach viewpoint. Here's what to expect.
Why do it
Kefalonia's headline sights are spread out and hard to see on your own in a day. Our full-day trip does the logistics for you — you just enjoy the caves, the lake, the capital and that jaw-dropping view over Myrtos.
The route
- Drogarati Cave — a dramatic cavern of stalactites.
- Melissani Lake — an underground lake where sunlight turns the water electric blue.
- Argostoli — Kefalonia's laid-back capital, time to wander the harbour.
- Agios Gerasimos Monastery — the island's spiritual heart.
- Myrtos Beach Viewpoint — the classic high-angle view over one of Greece's most beautiful beaches.
