General: Remeber to take some tours

Some friends recommended us to go to Kefalonia and it was indeed a lovely holiday. There are lots of historical and beautiful, unspoilt places to see, plenty of beaches for everyone and beautiful places to stay, though people were not always as accomodating as we were led to believe, or have experienced elsewhere. People are generally helpful, though we met a really rude man at Kaminia beach,...

General: A nice island with beautiful landscapes

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

I got on the island by boat. Although it was old, it was in good shape and the crew was friendly and helpful. I have already been twice on Kefalonia and so I had a perfect idea of what to expect. The only thing I didn't remember was the difficulty to travel with public transports. There are very few busses that don't go to all the places. In Sami you have to fight to find a taxi! The island is ...

General: What to do and see

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

Kerry & Dale, England. If you don't want to lay by a pool you can always visit the following: St Gerasimos St Gerasimos is the Patron saint of the island and his mummified body is kept in its casket at the monastery bearing the same name. Mazarakata Tombs These Mycenaean tombs are well worth a visit. It is very easy to miss them but they are not far from the main Argostoli road- jus...

General: The people were fantastic and so friendly

Athens was amazing and so intresting. Kefalonia was like any island holiday but the people were fantastic and so friendly. Hotel was good but beaches rather gritty and stoney. Be sure you get plenty of lip balm, as winds, sun and salt air dry out the lips and one gets blisters. Car hire was very easy and economical. Kefalonia village had all amenities except a chemist which opens - the one ther...

Beaches: Take the time to drive round the island

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

Notwithstanding the recent fires, the island is very green with attractive scenery throughout. Hiring a car allows you to get round to most parts of the island in little more than 2-3 hours which means all areas are accessible regardless of where you are staying. Best beaches: Katelios is great for the kids as it does not have a steep drop and generally calm waters. Myrtos is worth a vi...

General: You have to go to Kefalonia for its peacefulness

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

I chose this destination to spend a week of my summer holidays as I had studied the story of Italian soldiers who died on Kefalonia and I had seen a documentary about the island. Before my arrival, I had no idea what Kefalonia would be like. I thought it would be probably more similar to the other Greek Islands, like Mykonos or Santorini. But Kefalonia is very different!! Kefalonia is a strange...

We hired a ca...

I went to Kefalonia for the first time in 2005. I only stayed for five days. Not enough time to explore the island!! Went back in 2006 for 3 weeks!! The island is very big and you need time to explore it. I fell in love with Kefalonia and didn't want to leave. It is paradise! The beaches are so beautiful. Every beach I went to had its own beauty, and one was so diferent than the other! ...
