Enjoy your holidays at Kefalonia
Kefalonia is the largest island in the Ionian Sea and the 7th largest in Greece. It is known for its green-blue beaches, the 365 villages with their unique style, and the great mountain Ainos that smoothly binds the rough beauty of the mountain with the wild beauty of the sea.
Its coast is full of beaches for every taste. You can choose from organized or not, with sand (south beaches) or pebbles (north beaches) and activities like watersports or inflatable games. Some of the best beaches are hidden really well, so you can either ask the locals or explore yourself by walking or renting a boat.
