The Itinerary in Detail

Assos: A Picturesque Coastal Village

Our journey begins in Assos, a small, charming village sitting on a narrow peninsula on Kefalonia’s northwest coast. Built on a gentle slope, its colorful houses—shades of yellow, blue, and white—cluster along winding, narrow alleys. You’ll love the peaceful atmosphere and the chance to stroll without the pressure of crowds. Assos is famous for its tranquility, and its setting—surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking the sea—is simply lovely.

The highlight here is the calm harbor where you can enjoy a leisurely walk, soak in the views, or snap some photos. The best part? No stairs or steep inclines, making this stop accessible and relaxed. The visit lasts around an hour, giving you enough time to breathe in the local vibe without feeling rushed.

Myrtos Beach: The Photo Stop

Next, we head to Myrtos Beach, arguably the most famous viewpoint on the island. Just a 15-minute stop, this spot offers a jaw-dropping panorama of the white cliffs descending into the vivid turquoise waters. From the viewpoint, you get an expansive view of the crescent-shaped beach below, often featured in travel magazines.

While you won’t set foot on the sand during this visit (and there’s no walking involved), the photo opportunity here is unbeatable. It’s a chance to snap pictures that will remind you of Kefalonia’s unspoiled beauty. This stop is a favorite among travelers, and as one reviewer put it, “the view is simply unforgettable.”

Fiskardo: The Elegant Venetian Harbor

The final stop is Fiskardo, a well-preserved village that escaped the destruction of the 1953 earthquake, leaving its Venetian architecture intact. This place looks and feels different from the other stops—more cosmopolitan, with boutique shops, cafés, and a lively harbor. You’ll have around an hour and a half here to wander freely among the colorful buildings, admire the seaside cafés, or just relax by the water.

Fiskardo’s charm lies in its authentic, unpretentious atmosphere. It’s a lovely place to soak in the local vibe without the crowds of larger tourist hubs. The absence of queues or stairs makes it a pleasant stroll, and it’s the perfect cap to a scenic day.

The tour’s flexibility means you won’t feel rushed, and with only your group, you get the personal attention that large tours can’t offer. On top of that, the tour’s logistics make it easy to plan — pick-up and drop-off are included, and the total duration of about 5 hours makes it a manageable half-day activity.

Value and Pricing

At roughly $75.43 per person, this tour offers solid value for the convenience and quality of experience provided. You get to see three of Kefalonia’s most photogenic spots, avoid the hassle of self-driving or navigating public transport, and enjoy the comfort of a private guide.

Given the reviews, travelers often find the experience meets or exceeds expectations — one quoted traveler described it as “a lovely trip to see Myrtos bay, Assos, and Fiskardo,” fulfilling their expectations perfectly.
