Kefalonia, the jewel of the Ionian Islands, located right in front of the entrance to the Gulf of Corinth, is the largest of its archipelago and an ideal destination for a vacation full of unspoiled nature and rich tradition.

Kefalonia has a very unique landscape, ranging from high, rugged coastlines to bays that hide small coves with beaches so white they resemble talcum powder, and an electric blue sea. Its mountains are covered with dense vegetation, including forests and pine groves, home to charismatic wild horses. The island’s beaches are a favorite nesting spot for turtles, which return every year to lay their eggs and ensure the survival of their species.

The myth of Kefalonia is tied to the fact that it was here that Odysseus found refuge during his journeys. There’s plenty to do in Kefalonia to fill your days, visit its picturesque villages like Fiscardo or the capital, Argostoli. A visit to the incredible Dragorati Cave with its majestic stalactites is a must. For trekking enthusiasts, Mount Ainos offers scenic trails with breathtaking views. Unforgettable boat trips await, where you can spot loggerhead turtles (Caretta-caretta), as well as wine tours to sample Robola, the island’s unique and incomparable wine.

Kefalonia is perfect for a romantic getaway or an adventurous family vacation, where you’ll create memories to cherish. Consider it your next holiday destination in Greece nature, history, and the sea await you!

We recommend renting a vehicle, preferably a car, to explore Kefalonia. Given its size, there’s a lot of ground to cover, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on its many wonders!
