I'm planning a trip to Kefalonia soon and I’m really excited about capturing some stunning photographs during my visit. I've heard that the island is incredibly picturesque, and I don't want to miss out on any of the best spots.

Can anyone recommend the top photography locations in Kefalonia? I'm particularly interested in:
  • Iconic landscapes
  • Hidden gems
  • Unique viewpoints
  • Best times of day for light
I appreciate any tips or advice you can share, especially from those who have been there before! Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Some ideas:

Start with Myrtos Beach, famous for its stunning turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs—come at sunset! Assos village is another gem, with its charming harbor and colorful houses. Head to Melissani Cave for surreal photos of the underground lake illuminated by sunlight. The view from Mount Ainos offers breathtaking panoramas of the island. Don’t miss Fiskardo, a picturesque village with beautiful architecture and lively atmosphere. These spots are a good start.

Ruins to Visit in Kefalonia

I’m planning a trip to Kefalonia and am really interested in exploring some historical sites while I’m there. I’ve heard that the island has some fascinating ruins and ancient landmarks, but I’m not sure where to start. I’d love to get recommendations on the best ruins to visit in Kefalonia—whether they’re ancient castles, old villages, or hidden archaeological sites.

I’m particularly interested in places that have a bit of history and are off the beaten path, but I’m open to visiting more popular sites too if they’re worth it. Any tips on the best times to visit, how to get there, or any special things to look out for would be greatly appreciated.

Visiting Kefalonia - Which Other Islands Are Close?

We’re planning a trip to Kefalonia and are so excited to explore its beautiful beaches, villages, and unique sights! Since we’ll be in the area, we’re thinking about adding a visit to a nearby island or two, but we’re not sure which ones are easily accessible and worth the extra travel.

We’ve heard Ithaca is very close and has a lot of history, plus those peaceful, secluded beaches sound amazing. Is it easy to get to from Kefalonia, and would a day trip be enough? We’re also curious about Zakynthos – the pictures of Navagio Beach are stunning! Does anyone know how long it takes to get there by ferry? Are there any other islands or spots you’d recommend?

We’d love any tips on ferry routes, how much time to spend on each island, or any hidden gems we shouldn’t miss while island-hopping. Thank you!

Tips About Myrtos Beach

I’m planning a trip to Kefalonia, and Myrtos Beach is at the top of my must-visit list! I’ve seen so many gorgeous photos of the white pebbles, turquoise water, and dramatic cliffs, and I can’t wait to experience it in person.

For those who’ve been there, do you have any tips to share? I’d love advice on the best time of day to visit, parking, and whether it’s better to bring my own beach umbrella or if rentals are available. Is it family-friendly, or is the water too rough? Are there nearby spots to grab a bite to eat, or should I pack a picnic?

Also, are there any hidden gems nearby worth checking out after enjoying the beach? I’d appreciate any suggestions to make the most of my visit. Thanks!

Traditional Dishes to Try in Kefalonia?

Hi everyone! I'm heading to Kefalonia soon and super excited to explore the island’s food scene. I’ve heard there are some amazing local dishes unique to Kefalonia, and I want to make sure I don’t miss out on the most traditional ones.

So far, I’ve seen people mention kreatopita (meat pie), and I’m curious about other authentic things to try — whether it’s main dishes, desserts, or street food. I love trying regional specialties when I travel and would rather eat what the locals eat than stick to touristy menus.

Are there any specific dishes that are only found on Kefalonia? Any tavernas or bakeries that serve amazing local food? I'd also love tips on what to pair with a glass of Robola wine!

Thanks so much — I’m building my must-eat list now and would love your suggestions!

When do things shut down in Kefalonia in the fall?

I’m considering a trip to Kefalonia in mid-October and wanted to get some insight from those who have visited around that time. I’ve heard that many Greek islands start winding down their tourist season in the fall, and I’m wondering if that’s the case with Kefalonia too.

Are the main attractions, tavernas, and shops still open, or do things start closing up after the summer rush? I’d love to know if I’ll still be able to enjoy the beaches, boat trips, and some local food spots, or if it’ll be quieter with limited options.

Also, is the weather still pleasant for exploring and swimming in October? I’m hoping to experience a more relaxed vibe but don’t want to miss out on the island’s highlights.
