We go to Europe including Greece every year ( besides 2020 and 2021 due to covid). We use cards everywhere we go, all businesses have to have the facilities to accept card payments debit and credit, it is law in Greece now. We even pay the motorway tolls by card, a cup of coffee by card. Two...

Depending on how long you stay in Kefalonia you should rent a car to get around and explore the island. You can do day trips from Poros to Zakynthos and Ithaki. These are guided tours on a small cruiser run by locals with English speaking guides . You can find information on the net. You can...

If you want a family friendly but little known sandy beach, Kaminia and Mounda are best. Shallow warm water with fine sand . Plenty parking but you need to arrive there early as it fills up. If you have a 4x4 car it's easier to park on the side of the road that is sandy. If you want to go...

Last year (July) we stayed at the Casino. We rented a car for 6 days from Port Cars, from their office opposite the casino. It was a new, (2000 km on the clock) manual Citroen C5. It cost 55 Euro per day, everything included besides fuel. Excellent service, they will deliver to your hotel or...

I have done day trip to Nea Kameni island, had a swim at the hot springs and walked up to the volcano. This was in summer during the day. The swim was fine, the water very hot on the top and close to shore, not as hot away from shore and under water. The walk up to the active volcano was hard...

You have to try Kefalonian meat pie and Tassias at Fiskardo is the best place.

As above . The best way to see Kefalonia is to rent a car, public transport is not great . If you are American , Australian or Canadian, you don't need international drivers permit to rent a car. These days you can't drive up to the fortress, you have to be reasonably fit to walk up in summer...

I would ad kalavryta to the list if you haven't been there. You can drive up but I recommend you take the train (odontotos) from Diakopto.

You will see them anytime in Argostoli where the waterfront restaurants are and where the fishing boats dock. If you want to see them laying eggs and or hatchings running to the sea, that's a bit more difficult. If you go between May and October to Mounda or Kaminia beach at night you maybe...

Nothing to worry about. Plenty of light and at times sun in the lake . The only time she may feel claustrophobic is in the tunnel that leads to the lake.

There are lots of beaches in Kefalonia but the 3 above are not . Glyfada is in Attika ( Athenian Riviera) and the other 2 in Corfu. I would suggest you try Mounda , Kaminia and Katelios. All close to Skala and fine sand. You can drive to all of them, All are calm and shallow water. Katelios has...

If you go to Fiskardo you must have lunch at Tasia's at least once.

If you have a car take the ferry to Ithaki and explore the Island . P.S. It's Fiskardo.

Yes , 25th of July.

Try this: The word comes from the Greek root words “filos”, meaning friend, and “timi”, meaning honor. The meaning of philotimo extends far beyond the words friend and honor. It encompasses the concepts of pride in self, pride in family, pride in community and doing the right thing.

We were in Rhodes late July, beginning of August When the fires were raging. We stayed at the casino we didn't see any fire or smoke there at all. Fires were about 50-60 km south, near Lindos. We drove all the way to the southmost point. A lot of the mountain was burned and in some cases all...
