KEFALONIA GREECE - 14 TOP THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO AND SEE - THE BEST GREEK ISLAND??
????????14 AMAZING THINGS TO DO AND SEE ON KEFALONIA ISLAND IN 7 DAYS ????????
We flew to Kefalonia which is part of the Ionian Greek islands off the coast of mainland Greece on the 2nd of July 2018 for 1 week. We stayed in Hotel Mediterranee in Lassi and traveled around the Greek island by bus and loved every minute of it! We can drive however; we are both scared of heights and thought it best to stick to bus trips!! The roads on Kefalonia are fine, they are wide and not over crowded, it was just our preference for this trip. I love to plan ahead and research the best areas to stay, the distances between accommodation, bus stops and shops, restaurants etc, the area with the best beaches and then the best things to do and see on the island. I do this by following travel forums, using Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Street View and much more. Obviously, what I think is great might not appeal to everyone but I just wanted to create a video showing some of the things we loved doing and seeing when we went to Kefalonia. I hope this travel guide helps you plan your trip and if you need to know any further information, please ask away. We hope to go back again one day and stay longer so we can visit the south and more of the further west arm of the island. Thank you for watching. Claire x

MY Journey MY adventure in Kefalonia argostoli Greece... WuuuzZzaaA
Welcome to Greece - Travel guide Kefalonia
Dear viewers,
I put together this video of my summer holidays in Kefalonia, Greece. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed filming it! Bellow you will find some useful information if you’re planning a holiday to this island! Sit back and relax a little hint of the Greek lifestyle.
Comment if you have any questions or insight you would like to share and thumbs up if you liked the video!
;-) Cheers

Getting there and accommodation:
We took a flight at the crack of dawn from Athens (Eleftherios Venizelos), therefore, arriving at something like 7 am… From the airport of Kefalonia we grabbed a taxi to Agia Efimia. (For something like 1 hour we paid 50-60€ in case you are wondering).
During our stay in Agia Efimia we stayed at the Waterside Apartments. This place was simply perfect and the owners (and their pup Cookie) were lovely.
After a few days we moved to the other side of the island and stayed at the Olive Grove Studio & Apartments in Svoronáta.
Key locations:
- Sami: on the road from Afia Efimia to Sami there are the most beautiful desert beaches so make sure to check them out.
- Antisamos beach: beautiful and sunbeds are free!
- Myrthos Beach: if you have your own vehicle make sure you arrive around 9am. At that moment the beach will be almost desert and is incredibly beautiful. At something like 10am the big buses arrive and the beach gets literally crowded. At that point be aware that you won’t find any sunbeds.
- Melissani Cave: best time to visit is lunch time – don’t make the same mistake as we did and go late afternoon.
- Argostoli
- Lassi
Activities:
I highly recommend you go riding and try the kayak. Both activities were lots of fun.
Riding: Bavarian Horse Riding Stables - Sami, Kefalonia. Send an email or give a call to book your ride. We did the 2 hour ride in the mountain but there are lots of other trails available depending on where you want to go and how long you want to ride.
Sea kayaking:
You’ll want to do this activity if you stay close to Argostoli. We did the day-trip “Argostoli Lighthouse to Minies (South Kefalonia)”. It’s perfect for beginners and no worries you don’t have to be the sportiest person ever you’ll be just fine. The staff will give you dry bags (I put my camera in them and had no issue) and a shirt to keep you cool throughout the day.
For more details check out the official website.
Useful link:
Make sure you check out the following website. It was incredibly useful to organize my trip.
Filming equipment:
All the footage was filmed with a GoPro Hero Silver. The accessories I used were: 3-Way, Head Strap and Floaty.
Lets go to Greece, Kefalonia

Fiskardo Kefalonia Cruise Port - Kefalonija Village Tour - Greece Island Holiday Trip YouTube ????️????????
Fiskardo Port, located in Kefalonia Island in Greece is one of the most exquisite ports I have been! From the diamond crystal clear water to the greek architectural design details and colors.
The port is full of restaurants and the view makes you think to stay forever in this fairytale paradisiac town. On this holiday, we took the 1-day cruise trip and we stayed about 1.5h here. The food is delicious and the prices are average considering that this island is a luxury one.
Fiscardo village is located 50 km north of Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia. The village is very much based around its waterfront with many private yachts and small fishing boats.
This lovely spot offers nice views of the neighbor island of Ithaca. This picturesque fishing village is recognized as a traditional preservable settlement as it is one of the few villages that remained untouched by the major earthquake of 1953.
Today it is known for its cosmopolitan and warm atmosphere. There is a massive amount of tourism in this small village but it manages to hold its beauty against all odds.
The main coastal road hosts plenty of shops, taverns, and bars and it throbs with activity during the summer. The traditional and Venetian buildings and houses with pretty colors embrace the natural bay offering the village a unique charm while reflecting the rich heritage of Kefalonia.
Mostly for its amazing beauty, Fiscardo has become an attractive destination for thousands of visitors every year. Nearby the village one can find many beautiful pebbled beaches and stunning coves with calm and crystalline waters as well as ruins of a Palaeolithic settlement and plenty of Byzantine churches, and many other picturesque and interesting sites.
The Natural and Environmental Museum lies above the waterfront and it is worth a visit!

Kefalonia Island - The Best Beaches In Greece
In our opinion, Kefalonia island has the best beaches in Greece! From Myrtos to Assos to Platias, this island is truly blessed with beaches. But that's not all that there is to offer here! In this week's episode, we rent another car on Kefalonia and explore for a few days. We drive all the way around the island (except for the Southeast) and see many beautiful places including the Paliki Peninsula, Assos Town, Myrtos Beach, Fiskardo, Argostoli, Sklavos Winery and much more! We eat delicious greek food, swim in some of the most beautiful water we've ever seen, meet new friends and try new wines!
This island is famous for having some of the best beaches in Greece, and while we agree that there are some spectacular stretches of sand, it's really the raw nature and laid back vibe of Kefalonia that we loved.
This is definitely one of the best islands in Greece and we will return one day to explore some more! For now, check out what we've seen so far!
VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:
We're at our second island here in Greece this is Kefalonia. We just picked up this little ride from ETAM KCG Travel here on the island, we're going to be ripping around, checking out this place. It's famous for it's rocky coastline, pristine beaches and tasty wine. It's one of the largest islands in the Ionian Island chain and also one of the largest islands in Greece, so we definitely need a car.
So in this episode we're exploring Kefalonia. Let's do it guys!
We just checked into our hotel, this is White Rocks on Kefalonia Island. Which we're so happy about because check out our view from our amazing room. This hotel is set on two breathtaking blue flag beaches and we have a view of them right from our room here. It's incredible so we're so happy to be here for four nights and wake up to this view every morning. So we're just going to drop off our bags and go explore Kefalonia.
We spent the afternoon hanging out at the beaches near our hotel, and then we came out to this place, this is Sto Psito Restaurant. We've been told that they serve up traditional food using local ingredients and we're excited to try Kefalonian wine and the specialties as well. Plus there are supposed to be amazing views from the sunset terrace. I can tell already that it's going to be gorgeous so let's get in there.
We're now in Argostoli which is the capital of Kefalonia. This city like many places in the south end of the island was rocked by an earth quake in the 1950s so it's been rebuilt, but there are still nice buildings like this church here behind us and there's a beautiful seafront promenade that runs for probably a couple of kilometers so we're going to go hit that up right now.
So it wasn't until 1864 that these Ionian Islands became a part of Greece, before that they were occupied by the French, The Russians, The Italians, The Turks, so they've basically had a really different history from the rest of Greece. So they have their own traditions which we're getting to witness here today because their wearing traditional clothing and they're dancing and having a parade to celebrate 1864 when they officially reunited with Greece.
We just drove about an hour from the capital to come all the way over here on the other side of the peninsula to this little place, this is called Petani Beach and it's gorgeous but it's super windy and super wavy right now so we won't be swimming, but we're going to chill out in this little tavern for now and have some lunch.
So we just finished up a tasty lunch on the beach and then we drove for another twennty minutes and now we're in the little town of Lixoury. We're on the Paliki Peninsula and there is hardly anybody here. The drive took us through a lot of undeveloped areas and now we're in this town and I don't see anyone around there's just a bunch of fishing boats and it's pretty cool. So now we're just going to walk around, explore the plaza, have a coffee and explore this little town a little bit.
another short little drive from Lixoury town brought us here, this is Xi Beach. The sand here is unique in that it's really rust color and kind of reddish and there's mud here that you're supposed to rub all over your body and it's like a spa treatment for your skin.
So we're going to walk along this sand for a little bit and then this afternoon we're supposed to go for a wine tasting, so we don't have very much time to hangout on Xi Beach here but we'll do a little stroll on the sand here and then hop back in the car.
Last night when we ate at that Tavern we had that Sklavos wine that I said we just loved and today we're going to meet Mr.Sklavos, we're at the Sklavos Vineyard and I think we're going to walk around the vineyard and maybe try some more of this delicious wine!
