Itinerary

The first major stop is often Melissani Lake, where guests descend into a partially open cave and experience a boat ride across its illuminated turquoise waters.

The journey continues to Drogarati Cave, known for its impressive stalactites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years. From there, the tour typically proceeds toward the coastal viewpoints overlooking Myrtos Beach, offering panoramic views of one of Greece’s most photographed shorelines.

Depending on the route, guests may also visit the picturesque villages of Fiscardo or Assos, where there is free time to walk along the waterfront, explore traditional streets, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Additional scenic stops may be included based on timing and local conditions before returning to the original pickup locations.

Insider notes

The order of stops and specific villages visited may vary depending on weather, traffic, and seasonal conditions. Entrance fees for Melissani Lake and Drogarati Cave are typically paid separately on site. Comfortable footwear is recommended, as some areas include walking on uneven terrain, particularly inside caves and village streets. During peak season, popular viewpoints such as Myrtos Beach can be busy, so timing is adjusted to improve viewing conditions. Guests should bring water, sun protection, and cash for optional expenses.
