Highlights of Cephalonia and Wine
Depart the port of Argostoli and begin your day of discovery and exploration. Take in the panoramic scenery as you make your way past charming villages to the slopes of Mount Airos and the Robola Winery where you will taste the area's indigenous wine including an exquisite white varietal with lemony tones.
From there you will continue down to the Old Monastery of Saint Gerasimos to explore the monastery and the crypt of the Saint (optional) hidden in the basement. Venerable Saint Gerasimos of Kefalonia is the patron saint of the island of Kefalonia. The Monastery is a sacred place for every citizen of Kefalonia where the relics of the Saint are kept in a glass case which is placed above his tomb.
Take a short ride to the Cave of Drogarati where you will take a steep, descending corridor into the cave and be greeted by 2-million-year-old stalagmites, stalactites, and other colorful formations. This cave lies 60 meters below the surface and its ideal acoustics makes it a popular venue for concerts.
