I would love to visit one day and do a photoshoot at the bridge! Any tips for getting there and which season is best to visit Kefalonia?

I love this bridge! It was formerly called Drapano Bridge and it is the longest stone bridge over the sea in the world! I always suggest going to Greece between May - September when its the warmest and liveliest.
 
Check out the turtles in the lagoon right next to the bridge! There are so many of them
 
This is such a neat site to visit! Being able to see the turtles might be the highlight for me.

Best Tavernas with Sea Views on Kefalonia

One of the things I always look forward to when traveling in Greece is finding a taverna with a beautiful sea view. There’s just something about sitting outside, looking out over the water, and enjoying a long meal that makes the whole experience feel even more memorable.

I’m hoping to spend some time on Kefalonia and would love to hear your recommendations for tavernas where the view is part of the experience. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy—sometimes the simple places end up being the best—but a great setting overlooking the sea is always a bonus.

Whether it’s a spot above a beach, a harborfront table, or a hillside taverna looking out over the Ionian, I’d love to hear about it.

Which tavernas on Kefalonia have the best sea views while you’re enjoying your meal? Any favorites that really stand out?

Best Coastal Drives in Kefalonia?

I’ve been looking at photos and maps of Kefalonia lately, and what really stands out is how dramatic the coastline seems from above. The cliffs, the sharp turns, the sudden views of turquoise water — it feels like the kind of island where the drive itself is part of the experience.

That made me curious about the best coastal routes on the island. Not just the famous viewpoints, but the actual stretches of road that are especially beautiful to follow. Are there particular drives where the scenery keeps unfolding the entire way? Sections that feel wild and untouched versus more polished and built up?

I’ve heard different opinions about the road between Argostoli and Fiskardo, and also about the western side near Petani and Myrtos. For those who know the island well, which coastal drives truly stand out, and at what time of day do they feel most special?

Fiskardo vs. Assos: Which Do You Prefer?

I'm considering a trip to Kefalonia sometime in the future and am still in the information-gathering stage. One comparison that keeps coming up is Fiskardo versus Assos. Both look absolutely beautiful in photos, but they seem to have very different personalities.

Fiskardo appears to be larger, with more restaurants, boats, and activity, while Assos looks quieter and perhaps a little more traditional. Since I haven't finalized any plans yet, I'm curious what people who have visited think.

If you had to choose one, which would it be and why? Is one better for relaxing and enjoying the scenery? Does one have better food, beaches, or overall atmosphere? Would you stay overnight in either location, or are they better as day trips?

Information Comparing Kefalonia vs. Other Ionian Islands

I’m planning a trip to Greece and currently weighing Kefalonia against some of the other Ionian Islands, and I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited more than one.

I’m trying to understand how Kefalonia compares in terms of overall feel, things like pace, scenery, beaches, towns, and how easy it is to get around. Is it quieter or more spread out than places like Corfu or Zakynthos? Does it feel more relaxed, or just less built up? I’m also curious about food, crowds, and whether Kefalonia feels better suited for exploring by car versus staying mostly in one area.

I’m not looking for a “best island” answer, just real comparisons from experience. What made you choose one Ionian island over another, and did it match what you were hoping for?

Off the Beaten Track Beaches in Kefalonia

I’m starting to plan a trip to Kefalonia, and while I know there are some famous beaches on the island, I’m much more interested in finding places that feel a little more off the beaten track. The kind of beaches where you might need to drive a bit farther, walk down a path, or just put in a little extra effort, but in return you get fewer crowds and a more natural atmosphere.

I don’t mind if there aren’t many amenities. In fact, I usually prefer beaches that feel untouched rather than highly organized with rows of umbrellas and beach bars. Clear water, beautiful scenery, and a peaceful vibe matter more to me than convenience.

Are there any beaches in Kefalonia that you’d recommend that fit this description? Maybe hidden coves, quieter stretches of coastline, or places locals tend to go?
