Make the Most of Your Kefalonia Stay

Island of natural drama

Kefalonia commands attention as the largest of the Ionian Islands, where dramatic limestone cliffs plunge into impossibly blue waters and underground lakes glow with ethereal light. The 1953 earthquake fundamentally reshaped the island, leaving only Fiskardo's Venetian architecture intact. This history adds depth to your exploration, whether you're descending into Melissani Cave or standing above Myrtos Beach, where vertical cliffs frame turquoise waters in one of the Mediterranean's most striking coastal scenes.

Sophisticated island living

Fiskardo draws the yachting set to its preserved 18th-century harbor, where waterfront restaurants serve exceptional seafood alongside the island's celebrated Robola wine. The atmosphere remains refreshingly relaxed compared to party-focused Greek islands, with evenings centered around sophisticated bars in Argostoli. Mount Ainos National Park offers guided hikes through endemic fir forests, while Roman mosaics at Skala and the Venetian fortress above Assos provide cultural substance beyond the beaches.

Practical considerations

A rental car proves essential for exploring the island's diverse geography, as public buses run limited schedules. Ferry connections from Sami make day trips to Ithaca straightforward. Members can apply miles toward accommodations in Fiskardo for historic elegance or Argostoli for convenient access to services.
