Kefalonia - the island of Captain Corelli fame - is the largest of the Ionian Islands and boasts the third largest mountain range in Greece. A national park and home to wild ponies, golden eagles, ospreys and other protected species. With spectacular scenery and magnificent beaches this beautiful Island was once voted tenth in a world scenic beauty league. Turquoise waters lap at dazzling beaches under dizzy cliffs, and citrus groves, alive with fluttering fauna, immerse picturesque villages in a tangy aroma. Here you may chance upon a feast day where all is a riot of colour and laughter - the emphasis is on agreeable days spent in convivial company, rather than sleepless boozy nights. There is little wonder why most visitors choose to repeat the experience again and again. Marine wildlife in the area includes dolphins, rare monk seals and the loggerhead turtle. During the day you could explore the Drogorati Caves where the natural acoustics are so good that one chamber is used as a dramatic setting for concerts. Slip across the icy-blue underground lake of Meliisani in a rowing boat, or follow in Odysseus' footsteps to the fabled isle of Ithaca. For something more active, the main beaches in Lassi provide watersports during high season. |

Kefalonia Resort reviews |
| |
| Karavados, is a traditional picturesque Greek village, ideal for those wishing tranquillity, peace and quiet. Suited to the independent traveller, the pace of life in Karavados is slow. You won't find bars, tavernas and discos, just a sleepy village where time stands still. |
| |
| Lassi is situated on the South West of the island with five sandy bays that shelve gently into shallow water, making this the ideal resort for families and beach lovers. Watersports are available on all the main beaches during high season (June-September). Modern and purpose-built, Lassi stretches along a coastal road, making it a good base for exploring the rest of the island. to keep you happy at night there are over 30 bars and restaurants ranging from English, Italian and Chinese to traditional Greek, nightlife means dinner plus watching the sun set with a brandy. The resort is very accessible just three kilometres from the capital Argostoli. The airport is only 10 minutes by car or taxi or 20 mins by coach. |
| |
| Lixouri, tranquil and friendly, is ideally situated at the foot of a wonderful mountain range. Life revolves around the village square where the handful of tourists mix with the locals in the bars. In high season, the two discos just outside town are a big hit with locals! The red, fine sands of Lepeda Beach, perhaps the best in the resort area, are two kilometres away from Lixouri Centre. The beach is clean and excellent for families. The airport is about 50 minutes by car or taxi or 1½ by coach. |
| |
| Skala With its vast shingle and sandy bf the resort of Skala is growing steadily in popularity but it has retained its relaxed village atmosphere. Skala retains plenty of local character inland, where you can see the ruins of the Old Town, while the quaint fishing quay of nearby Katelios is notable for its fine fish tavernas. Evenings spent in the many cafe- bars and restaurants in the main street. The airport is about 55 minutes by car or taxi or 2 hours by coach. |
| |
| Svoronata This sleepy village retains much of its traditional Greek charm. When you have soaked up the sun on one of the three excellent beaches, there are a handful of tavernas and local bars in which to cool down. The evening entertainment in Svoronata is very low key and is based around eating out, for a more lively evening take a trip up the coast to Argostoli or nearby Lassi. As this resort is near to the airport, some daytime aircraft noise is to be expected. |
