Argostoli Shore Excursions - Cephalonia & Melissani Cave Cruise Excursions

Cephalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands and the sixth largest of all Greek islands. The port town of Argostoli sits on the west coast of the island and serves as the starting point for all our Argostoli shore excursions. The pier only has one berth for cruise ships - if another ship is already in port, yours will anchor nearby and you'll tender to the old pier.

Our Beautiful Cephalonia tour lets you sample local wine, visit one of the island's monasteries, take a boat cruise on a cave lake, and enjoy free time in a local resort town. Our Wonders of Cephalonia tour visits the impressive Drogarati Cave along with a boat ride on the Melissani Cave Lake and the resort town of Sami, while our Folk Museum and Melissani Lake tour combines the island's Folk Museum with Melissani, plus stops at the Lighthouse of Saint Theodoroi, the Acquit WWII Memorial, and Myrtos Beach. Most ships are only in port 7 to 8 hours, so all our Argostoli tours are half day options - if your ship stays longer, we can combine two tours into a custom itinerary. All tours include an English-speaking guide and private vehicle. Reserve with a $50 deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions - Argostoli Shore Excursions

Where do cruise ships dock in Argostoli?

The pier in Argostoli has only one berth for cruise ships. If a ship is already in port, yours will anchor nearby and you will tender from your ship to the old pier. Your private guide meets you either way with a name sign.

Why are Argostoli tours only half day options?

Most ships are only in port for 7 to 8 hours, so we offer half day Argostoli tours to fit comfortably within a typical port call. If your ship will be in port longer, we can customize an Argostoli shore trip combining two of our tours into one day.

What is Melissani Cave?

Melissani is a stunning subterranean cave lake on Cephalonia, explored by boat as sunlight filters through an opening in the cave roof onto the turquoise water below. It's featured on two of our three Argostoli tours.

What is the back-to-ship guarantee on Argostoli shore excursions?

Our back-to-ship guarantee means that if an unforeseen delay during your private Argostoli shore excursion prevents you from returning to the cruise pier before your ship departs, we will arrange and cover the cost of transportation to your next port of call. This guarantee applies to all private Argostoli tours booked through us. Your tour must be scheduled to return to the ship 1.5 hours prior to ship departure.
