dealchecker’s guide to Kefalonia

Also known as Cephalonia, Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands in Western Greece, best known as being the setting for the fictional story "Captain Corelli's Mandolin". Breathtaking scenery with high rugged cliffs dropping to the sea and small friendly villages are what makes holidays here in Kefalonia so special.

How to get to Kefalonia

There is a small airport on the island, between the capital of Argostoli and the main resort of Lassi. It usually accepts the majority of flights on Tuesdays and Sundays, so be sure to book your cheap Kefalonia flights on one of these days, or you'll be in for a long stopover! There are also a range of ferries from Greece, other islands, and Italy.

Where to stay in Kefalonia

If you're after a resort holiday then Lassi is the main place to go, but if you get hold of cheap car hire on arrival in Kefalonia, you can also stay in one of the quieter resort villages by the sea such as Sami and the charming Fiskardo.

What to do in Kefalonia

If you can drag yourself away from the stunning beaches that dot the coast, then holidays in Kefalonia can also be about exploring the often mountainous interior. You'll find abandoned villages and stunning views, often without another person in sight. Visiting the capital of Argostoli is also a lovely day trip, and here you'll find plenty of shops, traditional restaurants and an authentic feel.
