Join us to discover two of Kefalonia's most important historical treasures on this trip to the Castle of St. George and the Monastery of Agios Gerasimos from Argostoli.
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Argostoli and start our journey. We will make a short stop at the viewpoints next to the Katavothres Ferris wheel and the historic lighthouse of Argostoli for sea views.
Next, we will head to the village of Kastro to explore the Castle of St. George, a fortress built in the 12th century and completed in the mid-16th century, located on a hill 320 metres (1,049 feet) above sea level. The castle features two parts with an inner courtyard and walls adorned with coats of arms of Venetian rulers.
After touring the castle, we will visit the Monastery of Agios Gerasimos, a key pilgrimage site in Kefalonia. Here, we will view its hermitage and enter its 2 underground rooms, accessed via a narrow path.
To conclude, we will visit the Vasilakis Culture boutique for an aperitif of typical products including wine, olive oil, and traditional sweets. After 4 hours in total, we will end the activity at the starting point.
