From Kastro, the journey winds through peaceful mountain villages before descending into the fertile Omala Valley, renowned for its vineyards, monasteries, and lush rural scenery. Here, you'll visit the revered Monastery of St. Gerasimos, the island's most important religious site and the resting place of Kefalonia's patron saint. Admire the serene setting, intricate frescoes, and profound spiritual significance of this historic sanctuary.

Your cultural immersion continues with a tasting experience at a traditional boutique, where you'll sample two varieties of premium Kefalonian extra virgin olive oil and two local honey specialties.
