This Argostoli shore excursion visits two of Cephalonia's best known underground sites, the Drogarati Cave and the Cave Lake of Melissani, with free time afterward in the resort town of Sami.
After meeting your guide at the port, you drive up the slopes of Mount Ainos toward the Cave of Drogarati, passing the Drapanos Bridge with its obelisk and the vineyard village of Fragata along the way. The cave itself descends about 60 meters (nearly 200 feet) below the surface and is estimated to be well over 100 million years old, far older than the Cephalonia earthquake era that first exposed its entrance. Its stalactites and stalagmites have taken on deep color from minerals like iron and copper in the surrounding rock. You descend a steep corridor into the cave, which opens onto a natural chamber roughly 2,700 square feet in size; its acoustics are good enough that it is sometimes used for concerts.
From Drogarati, you take the coastal road to the Cave Lake of Melissani. A short walk through a tunnel leads to the underground lake, and small wooden boats carry you across the water and into the surrounding chambers.
The tour continues to Sami, a resort town on the island's northeastern shore, where you have free time to walk the harbor, browse the shops, or stop for a coffee before returning to the ship.
At the end of the excursion, your driver-guide returns you to the pier in Argostoli.
