Kefalonia was just one of seven beautiful Ionian islands until Captain Corelli came along with his mandolin and sprinkled some Hollywood glamour on its shores. But there's more than silver screen glitz for you to uncover on this adults-only tour. Jane, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll hear all about the fascinating history, Greek mythology and love stories of Kefalonia.'Your adventure kicks off underground at the romantic Lake Melissani. The ancient Greeks called it the Cave of the Nymphs. It's quite the experience to glide over its glistening waters, piloted by a friendly local gondolier. We'll then head to Sami, the fishing village in which Nicolas Cage's Italian soldier fell in love with local doctor's daughter Penelope Cruz. Next up is a pit stop at Agia Efimia, where you'll have some time to poke around the shops before boarding a boat for a cruise.We'll sail along the northeastern coast of Kefalonia – all pine-clad hills punctured by hidden coves of pebbly beaches. There'll be a pit stop on Amoudi beach for a chance to swim, before docking in Fiskardo, where you'll drop into a family-run taverna for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients. This tiny port of pastel-coloured houses and flower-filled stone streets is ‘proud of its Venetian architecture and Roman heritage', says Jane. In the afternoon, you'll visit the untouched perfection of the village of Assos and stop by Myrtos beach – one of the stars of Captain Corelli – for a photo. 'Many rate it as one of the world's most beautiful beaches', adds Jane.

A cooking class in Kefalonia is a great option if you want to take home not just a souvenir, but a true Kefalonian experience. Set off on a culinary journey which brings you closer to the island's culture, traditions and authentic hospitality. Dimitra, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Mrs Stavroula is such an enthusiastic teacher, and a great cook. Her Kefalonian riganada – grilled bread topped with tomatoes, onions and fresh herbs – is one of the best I've ever tasted. It's a dish that celebrates the sun-ripened local produce and the flavours of my island.'Once you have arrived in the tucked-away village of Kourouklata, you'll be welcomed with Kefalonian delicacies to whet your appetite. The village is famous for its classical houses, coastal views and friendly locals, who'll make you welcome. There's an opportunity to taste local wines and honey, and to find out about the long journey it takes to create these typical island products.Next, you'll head to the oldest taverna in the village to cook up a storm. Under the guidance of Mrs Stavroula, you'll prepare Greek appetisers like tzatziki and Kefalonian riganada, then roll up your sleeves to make traditional meat pie. While lunch is cooking, take a guided tour of the village. Then it's time to savour the fruits of your labour, accompanied by fine Greek wine. Your journey into the world of Kefalonian cuisine ends with photos, smiles, and you'll get a souvenir recipe scroll, so you can host a Greek night with your friends back home.
