ACTIVITIES Lounging about on the beach all day  is pretty idyllic but for those who want to get the most out of their time on Kefalonia and enjoy a more individual holiday experience there's a variety of options, including:

4x4 Explore Get off the tourist trail without getting lost up a mountain, really explore Kefalonian with an experienced local driver/guide in your personal 'jeep safari':  ancient ruins, hidden caves,  rare wildlife - all on your doorstep but a million miles away from most tourists.

Birding / botany Guided explorations to explore the natural environment, focused on your interests.

Canyoning / caving Really explore hidden Kefalonia,  whatever your experience / fitness level.

DIVING There are some good dive opportunities on and around Kefalonia, including organised diving to the wreck of HMS Perseus and Melissani Lake (although booking well in advance is necessary for those).

Riding One hour treks to seven-day holidays in the beautiful Kefalonian countryside on sturdy, well natured and well cared for horses.

Sea kayaking Sea kayaking tours along various stretches of the Kefalonian coast. Suitable for all levels of experience, including complete novices, includes equipment, instruction,  etc.
