Hop a small boat to reach boat-only coves, snorkel over Posidonia meadows, and relax on Antisamos’ clear shore. This six-hour east Kefalonia cruise mixes swimming, beach bars, and close-up marine life viewing.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A small cabin boat pushes off from the harbor and the Ionian wind tugs at your hair as the eastern cliffs of Kefalonia come into view. Sunlight cuts across glassy bays; a coral-blue horizon dares you to dive in. Over the next six hours you hop between sheltered coves accessible mainly by sea, slip on a mask, and watch fish stitch patterns through Posidonia meadows while the boat idles in a pocket of calm.
