Kefalonia rewards the curious. Below you'll find our curated guide to the beaches, tavernas, towns and hidden corners that make this island unforgettable.
From the famous red clay sands of Xi — unique in the Mediterranean — to the dramatic cliffs framing Petani, the western coast is Kefalonia's most rewarding stretch of shoreline. All within a twenty-minute drive
Less visited than Argostoli but no less charming — Lixouri has the authentic, lived-in quality of a town that doesn't know it's beautiful.
Three tavernas within 500 metres, including Lepeda's harbourfront grillhouse where the catch arrives at noon and the tables fill by seven.
Melissani's underground lake, the Drogarati caves, a Robola winery visit, Argostoli's market, and the monastery of Agios Gerasimos.
