An island where sea and nature are omnipresent
See more See lessKefalonia is an island of full of character. It exudes both a lazy seaside atmosphere and mountainous ruggedness. Here, you can travel swiftly from the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea to the slopes of Mount Ainos, which rises to over 1 ,600 metres. The border between the two worlds sometimes gets blurred, as a few of Kefalonia's finest beaches are nestling behind sheer cliffs and steep paths. At the end of the effort, the beauty of a sandy beach far from the madding crowd, or a friendly cove offers a romantic and peaceful interlude, if you are visiting as a couple.
This striking contrast between the sea and the mountains is one of the main attractions of holidaying here. If you want a break from the sun, you can alternate lazy days with long, cool walks along paths shaded by vast pine forests. Both options have one thing in common: simplicity! Remember that when you take a direct flight from Nice to Kefalonia, don’t go expecting a vibrant nightlife or photogenic palace pools. You can also forget the selfies! This Greece swathes you in a philosophy that combines hedonism and nature, a gentle, authentic and delicious experience to be enjoyed with all the family or even with friends, provided, of course, that you all share the same definition of the word "happiness.”
