You will take part in a full-day guided excursion around Kefalonia that brings together archaeological heritage, local life, and coastal landscapes in a single itinerary. Throughout the day, you will move from the island’s earliest history to its most peaceful beaches, alternating cultural visits with moments of relaxation by the sea.
The experience will begin at the Mycenaean Tomb of Tzanata, one of Kefalonia’s most important archaeological sites, with more than 3,000 years of history. There, you will learn about the context of the Bronze Age and Mycenaean civilization, and hear references linked to Homeric legends and the figure of Odysseus, which will add a narrative dimension to the island’s past.
Afterwards, you will continue to the Roman Villa of Skala, where you will observe especially well-preserved 2nd-century mosaics, with scenes that reflect the artistic level and daily life of the Roman period. After the visit, you will have free time in the village of Skala to stroll through its streets, enter local shops, or relax in a café facing the Ionian Sea, enjoying the coastal atmosphere.
Later on, you will head to Mounda Beach, also known as Turtle Beach, a protected area because it is a nesting site for the Caretta caretta turtle. There, you will have time to swim, sunbathe on the golden sand, or simply admire a natural environment with little human intervention, before ending the day with a traditional lunch by the sea at a local Greek taverna, where you will enjoy seafood and regional flavors accompanied by Kefalonian hospitality and open views over the water.
