Shore Excursion from Argostoli port (Kefalonia): Robola winery, Agios Gerasimos & Drogarati Cave

Overview

When you arrive at the Port of Argostoli you will be met with our guide to escort you to your comfortable coach and start your tour.

First of all you visit the Robola winery which is known for his special fruity flavor of his white wine. Taste this unique wine and if you wish you can buy souvenirs of the local products.

After that, you continue to the Monastery of Agios Gerasimos who is the Patron Saint of the island. You can see the cave where the Saint lived, underground the church, and his relic which is guarded and protected in a glass casement at the monastery as it was never decomposed.

Your next visit is in the famous Cave Drogarati with stalagmites and stalactites, which was created 100 million years ago, his altitude is 120 meters and his depth reaches 95m. It is considered as one of the best caves in Greece because it is still alive since water drops continue to fall everywhere from the stalagmites. The big hall has excellent acoustics and is used for concerts with a special platform.

Before your return to the ship you will have a tour and some free time in the capital of Kefalonia, Argostoli.
