Cultural and dance trip in Kefalonia from Kefalonia Active Dance

For the first time and with pride we present our cultural and dance trip to Kefalonia with professional Greek dance lessons, gentle walks, cooking, wine tasting, fishing tour, nice accommodation and fun excursions. Lots of Greek dancing, memorable experiences and fun!

Under the guidance of professional teacher Maria Voutsina you will learn several traditional Greek dances and during our excursions we will tell you more about the rich Kefalonia culture and the island’s beautiful nature.

Apart from dance lessons, we have programmed some excursion days. You will have the opportunity to visit the fascinating Melissani lake and Drogarati cave, two of the most beautiful sites in Kefalonia. We will be visiting some villages and interesting locations in order to tell you more about the rich Kefalonian culture, tradition and nature and to taste the unique wines of Kefalonia. You will join a guided fishing tour for picking the fish from the nets, eating the delicious food and exploring beautiful beaches. After a walking tour in old Farsa village you will visit a local family tavern to uncover the secrets of Kefalonian food with a traditional cooking experience, eating, and get a taste of Greek hospitality.

Your teacher and guide Maria was born in Greece. For many years she taught Greek dancing in Greece and elsewhere in Europe and in a University in USA. This cultural and dance holiday is both for beginners and for more advanced Greek dance lovers. Let’s dance!
