Is Kefalonia cheap to visit?
Much more affordable than some neighbouring Greek islands, Kefalonia’s relaxed vibe and breathtaking scenery are easy to enjoy on a budget. Plan your trip during the shoulder season (May or September), when the temperatures are still in the mid-20s, and save on both flights and accommodation. Unassuming tavernas are a common sight on the island, making it easy to enjoy authentic Greek food that doesn’t break the bank.
Is it easy to get around Kefalonia?
When you touch down at Kefalonia International Airport (EFL), located on the south-west of the island, you’re only a 15 minute drive to the capital Argostoli, and an hour from the resorts around Skala in the south. Add a transfer to your hotel booking when you book your holiday with us, or jump in a taxi to reach your hotel. If you want to explore the island on your own time, the easiest and best way is by hiring a car.

Why visit Kefalonia?
As the largest Greek island in the Ionian Sea with 254 km of coastline, it’s easy to see why Kefalonia invites endless exploration. Famously featured in the Hollywood movie Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, take your pick from picturesque sandy beaches, pebbled coves and hidden bays or just soak in the warm, Mediterranean climate. Explore Petani Beach on the Paliki Peninsula or trek to Myrtos Beach for extraordinary views. The capital Argostoli is a charming and unpretentious town dotted with small shops, cafes and quayside seafood tavernas. Don’t miss the popular Drogarati Cave in Sami, discovered 300 years ago and featuring dramatic stalactites and rock formations in a natural subterranean cavern 37 metres below ground. If you’re feeling adventurous, Kefalonia is the perfect place to rent a scooter and explore the island’s spectacular countryside and rugged coastline. For those who want to just kick back and chill, Skala is one of the island’s most popular resorts (and originally a fishing village) offering everything from traditional Greek tavernas to cocktail bars and sandy beaches.

Kefalonia tips
Our insider Kefalonia tips will have you feeling holiday ready in no time.
When to tip
Tipping is optional here. It is considered polite to leave a small tip after a drink (50 cents), as well as to tip a little more when you go out for a meal (1-2 euros). If you like somewhere and think you will return, a 10% tip would encourage a wonderful repeat service and experience.
Don’t miss
The magic of Melissani Cave. Take a small boat across the cobalt blue lake of the caves and watch the waters light up as the sunlight pours in from above. Listen to local myths about nymphs and look out for curious dolphin-shaped stalactites. The Melissani caves are found just outside Sami, on the southern coast of the island.
Weather in Kefalonia
With summer highs of 31°C during the day and lows of 13°C at night, you’ll need to keep the sun-cream by your side in Kefalonia. Make the most of the beach and spend your days sunbathing on the shore. If it gets too hot, take dip in the pool or the sea to cool down; or find a hilltop taverna, perch outside with a drink, and enjoy the breeze.
