I went to Kefalonia about three summers ago but the beauty of the island is still vivid in my mind. The best thing on Kefalonia are the beaches. You can find wonderful beaches there for all tastes. Myrtos is the best of course, but if you drive around Kefalonia you will find other less known but very beautiful small coasts, like Ai Thomas, Saint Nikolas and Xi. Not all of them are organized, but they are all clean. In fact, I doubt if I have seen cleaner beaches in other Greek islands.
Villages on Kefalonia are so picturesque but the bad thing is that you can't rely on public buses to see them. I suggest you rent a car for a couple of days to make the tour of the island. Assos is particularly nice. Our hotel was there and the balcony had view to the small port. A lovely picture to see in the morning. Fiscardo is also nice. Argostoli is busy.
Pay attention if you stuck with your car behind big coaches. It takes a while to get unstuck. This is when you will hear many klaxons from the Greeks, who are the worst drivers I think. They do not pay attention to motorcycles, do not stop at STOPs and have many nerves when driving. They are expecting you to make unbelievable moves to get away from traffic, like it is your fault that the bus is in front of you! Also more gas stations are needed on the island, especially in areas away from Argostoli.
You will find no nightlife and not important historical monuments to see, but this will not matter you. The natural beauty of Kefalonia is enough.
