Kefalonia HIGHLIGHTS

Nestled in the blue waters of the Ionian Sea, Kefalonia is a hidden gem with magnificent beaches, rocky mountains, picturesque villages, and a plethora of natural beauties. Whether you are a nature lover or simply looking for a relaxed vacation, Kefalonia has something for everyone.

Swim in Myrtos Beach, Kefalonia's most visited beach.

It is among the most beautiful beaches in the world because of its vivid blue seas! Situated in a crescent-shaped bay, this lengthy beach is encircled by cliffs and mountains that are covered with trees and rich vegetation.

The brownish-orange sand covering Xi Beach makes it a unique picture.

Many tourists use the large white clay cliffs near the beach to indulge in a complimentary self-spa treatment by rubbing their face and body with clay mud, which is believed to be very calming and skin-nourishing.

Take a stroll in the picturesque Fiscardo

Fiscardo and its stunning marina have been gathering spots for the glitterati for many years. The colourful beachfront houses in the tiny village will definitely win your heart! One of the oldest Venetian villages on the island, it boasts historically noteworthy structures that have withstood several severe earthquakes.

See the gorgeous Assos

Situated on a tiny peninsula close to the sea, Assos is encircled by mountains and lush vegetation. With gorgeous, charming homes painted in vivid hues and a warm atmosphere that entices you to explore the town, this rural area is a fantastic find.

One of Kefalonia's rare natural wonders is Melissani Cave.

There is a lake within the B-shaped cave, which has two chambers and is only reachable by boat. Years ago, a natural roof collapsed in one of the cave's halls, allowing sunlight to flood the cavern and turning the whole space blue!

Discover the island's capital and busiest location, the town of Argostoli.

The long paved promenade is perfect for strolls at night, and most of its homes still have elements of traditional Venetian architecture. Explore the top local shops and try some regional cuisine!

Trek at the National Park of Mount Ainos

At 1862 meters, Ainos is the highest peak in Kefalonia. It has rich greenery and deep trees, and it is a National Park. In addition to providing a wonderful respite from the summer heat, the peaceful setting of the forest will help you rediscover nature.

Discover Saint George's Castle

Up to the Middle Ages, the entire town was protected by the fortress's encircling walls, which were constructed in the 12th century. Despite years of seismic damage, the fortress's stunning remnants and a mediaeval Catholic church have survived. It was rebuilt during the Venetian Period.
