The Lake Cavern of Melissani is a unique geological phenomenon located 2 km northwest of Sami. The lake is 20m below the surface. Stalactites with an age of 20.000 years and odd shapes adorn most of the cave. It’s unthinkable to visit the island and not do the boats trip into this spectacular geological wonder. The tour starts from the uncovered part of the cave where the light falls on the water and creates the most beautiful turquoise shades and continues in the part of the cave which is covered.
Drogarati cave with its countless stalactites and stalagmites is one of the must-sees in Kefalonia. Situated outside Sami it lies in the same area as Melissani. Drogarati cave is used from time to time for live concerts because of the unique sound effects of the cave.
Perched on the water’s edge, Assos Village has Venetian ruins, traditional, colorful houses, and narrow alleys with blooming foliage and old churches.

Both sports picturesque views, crystalline waters, and are ideal for snorkeling.

One of Greece’s most photographed and systematically voted among the best worldwide, Myrtos beach, is an experience to be savored at least once in a lifetime. It sports an incredible curve of perfect white sand, framed by tall, steep cliffs, leaking into bright turquoise waters. The sunset is dramatic here, with the tangerine reds blending into the deep blue, as the day gives way to the night —indeed it is not difficult to see why Myrtos is an all-time favorite for romantic couples.
