Such lovely people. I confused my booking and they had to make the journey to collect me twice- they were so kind and didn’t charge me extra. The van was very luxurious and spotlessly clean. Excellent English speakers too. I totally recommend this service. Thank you, Charis!!

The tour starts following the beautiful sea side road of Fanari with a photo stop at the location of Katavothres and the sink holes, a geological phenomenon first observed in 1835 and the Lighthouse. We continue to the lovely village of Assos, one of the most beautiful villages of Kefalonia.

Leaving Fiscardo and after a photo stop at the spectacular Myrtos Beach, we will meet another beautiful location surrounded by sea and fir tree cloaked mountains, Agia Efimia - a very pretty fishing village. Continuing we will have the chance to visit two of the most idyllic places, the subterranean lake of Melissani, where small boats carrying visitors to admire the spectacular sight of the stalactites and the changing kaleidoscopic colors of the water and Drogarati Cave, discovered 300 years ago.

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.
