I have visited Kefalonia 3 times and will continue to visit this beautiful Island. Sorry about the spelling, here are some Do's and don'ts
Do learn to say thank you and please in Greek (Epharisto Poli & Parakelo), it will get you everywhere.
Do hire a car it's cheap and so convenient (I use CBR)
Do visit the underground lake (Near Sami)
Do pick accomodation carefully based on reviews and recommendations
Do book your holdiday independently, your flights, accom and hire car you will save a fortune.
Do take enough Euros from the Post Office before you go.
Don't expect heavy duty nightlife / clubbing
Don't hire a motorbike or scooter to travel over the whole Island it is unwise as the traffic on the roads is dangerous, but this is your choice.
Places to visit:
Agastoli - the capital for all your needs, shopping for food is fantastic and eating out is also great. The square is a nice place to visit and watch the world go by, the shopping precinct is also worth a visit. Just outside there is a LIDL so you can stock up cheaply on water drinks and general self catering stuff.
There is a launderette if required on the way out towards Lassi.
Efemina - A cute little fishing village, plenty of places to go for eating, and there are apartments etc there. You can hire a boat but it is a little expensive for a few hours.
Sami - A popular stop off for yachtsmen, famous for filming "Captain Corelli's Mandelin". Plenty to eat and drink there.
Skala - Good stop off place for watersports and eating and drinking.
Lixouri - The old capital, nice beaches and use the mud (for your skin). Take the ferry its cheap even with a car. Again plenty to eat and drink.
Fiskado - Wow, this is the Capri of the north. Looks fantastic, there is plenty to eat and drink, use the restaurant at the end around the back, the locals do and its cheap. It is also a popular place for yachtsmen to stop off.
The people are great, respect them and their culture. Viva St Gerassimo, the local wine and the local beer.
