Our expert travel writer, Kerry Christiani, has created a hassle free guide to Kefalonia to make your holiday an enjoyable one!
As anyone who has ever swooned over the scenery in the film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin knows, Kefalonia is gorgeous – and it looks even better in real life. On this vast, mountainous Ionian Island, pine-cloaked heights and wild cliffs plunge down to white-sand beaches and coves scattered like horseshoes in a flint-blue sea. But the island has not let its cinematic beauty and brush with fame go to its head.
Kefalonia has successfully sidestepped the worst excesses of tourism and resorts remain low rise and low-key – whether you opt for sandy southern bays like Lassi, Lourdas and Skala, or ruggedly romantic northern coves near Fiskardo and Assos. Days unfold here in relaxed Greek fashion, with lazy beach mornings and drawn-out taverna lunches. Siga, siga (slowly, slowly), as the islanders would say.
