This is one of the best hikes you can do on the island, and in the region for sure. It can be a bit difficult for those who aren't experienced, so I do recommend that you hike in a group or with a tour guide. Of course, you don't have to hike all the way up and you can travel part of the way by car. What's important is that you enjoy the views and you do as much as you can. This video showcases the stunning views for anyone who is interested in going.

 
I definitely need to go to Kefalonia ASAP. What a stunning place!

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!

Favorite places to see in Kefalonia?

I’m planning a trip to Kefalonia this spring/summer and would love your input on must-see places on the island. I’ve heard it’s one of the most beautiful Greek islands, and I want to make the most of my time there!

What were your favorite spots—beaches, villages, viewpoints, or natural attractions? I’ve seen photos of Myrtos Beach and Melissani Cave, which look stunning. Are they worth the hype? Any hidden gems you'd recommend that aren't overly touristy?

I’m also interested in local experiences—like wineries, small tavernas, walking trails, or cultural sites. Thank you!

Good Place to Stay in Kefalonia?

I'm hoping to find an interesting place to stay in Kefalonia beyond the usual hotels—perhaps a charming guesthouse, a villa with character, or even a boutique hotel that offers a more authentic experience of the island.

I'd love to hear about any places you've stayed that have a special atmosphere, stunning views, or a great location near beaches or local attractions. If there are any hidden gems or off-the-beaten-path accommodations that you think I should consider, please share!

I'm also open to any advice on which areas of Kefalonia are best to stay in, especially for first-time visitors looking to explore the island's beauty.

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!

Advice for Scenic Drives in Kefalonia?

I’m planning a trip to Kefalonia and would love to make the journey as memorable as possible by taking some scenic drives along the way. Whether it’s stunning coastal roads, charming villages, or breathtaking mountain routes, I’m all ears!

If you’ve driven to Kefalonia before, could you share your favorite routes? I’m particularly interested in any must-see stops along the way, great viewpoints, or hidden gems that might be off the beaten path.

Also, any tips on ferry routes or the best times to travel would be greatly appreciated. I’m hoping to capture some amazing photos and make the most of the journey. I heard the island is very beautiful.
