Things to Do in Cephalonia Around $100

Cephalonia has stayed quietly beautiful while its Ionian neighbors got swallowed by tourism. The limestone cliffs are dramatic without feeling staged, and Myrtos Beach has the rare quality of being both famous and uncrowded. Boat tours cover the Melissani Lake system, which is genuinely geological rather than a tourist attraction. The island's food and wine traditions run deep, especially in small villages away from main harbors. Half-day boat tours and full-day island exploration both work depending on your pace preference.
