Kefalonia Events - August 2027
August 2027 has the Dormition at Agrilia on the 15th, St Gerasimos on the 16th, and St John at Karavomylos — the cave's own village — on the 28th.
The winter closure ended on 31 March 2027 and no 2027 timetable has replaced it. Hours are set by dated notice, so check our opening hours page for the schedule in force this week.
