It was our first trip to Kefalonia and we had a great time - didn't want to come home! Apart from two days of rain (which we expected at this time of year) the weather was perfect - 26C during the day and cooler nights.
We stayed in a beautiful villa in Old Skala with the most incredible views of Zakynthos, the Ioanian sea and the village of Ratzakli and Katelios.
During the two days of rain, we toured the island - Sami (which was great), Antisamos beach, Myrtos beach and Assos (very pretty). We drove through the mountains to get there, which was an adventure in itself. The scenery in Kefalonia is just breath-taking even in the rain!
The only area of the island that we weren't too keen on was Skala - too many Brits and other tourists. Fine if you want that sort of thing, but not our cup of tea.
We ate out in Argostoli, Skala, Katelios, Poros and Sami all of which offered great tavernas - we liked Katelios best as it was quiet and had great fish restaurants.
The beaches were spotlessly clean, as was the sea and the whole island in general.
Finally, we loved the people there - so helpful and friendly and even more so when we said "hello", "thank you" and "please" in Greek.
We would DEFINITELY go back for another holiday.
