A charming village built on a narrow peninsula, with waterfront tavernas and an ancient Venetian castle.
An impressive stalactite and stalagmite cave with excellent acoustics, occasionally used for concerts.

Here is what 5 days in Kefalonia look like when the planner builds them: stops grouped by proximity so no day doubles back, one full day at a time. The same route can be built for any length, from two days to a week.
This is an example. The planner builds a different route for your dates, real opening hours, how you get around and your own preferences.
