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 the myths of nymphs, see stalactites shaped like dolphins and savour the lasting picture of this place. Make your way just outside of Sami, to reach this serene spot.
Weather in Kefalonia
Enjoy blue skies, sunrays and a hot summer in Kefalonia. Reaching 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. Make the most of beach days with warm waters to swim in and sunbathing on the beach. If it gets a little too humid for you, take a dip in the pool to cool down, or sip on drinks at a taverna perched on a hill with a breeze.
