It can be variable and certainly cooler in the evening even on a sunny day - cardigan or fleece rather than just a tee shirt. Last year we were swimming in the sea on 31st October but then a week later we were having constant rain. It is a beautiful time of year to visit and explore the island.

The other consideration at that time of year is where you stay as some more tourist oriented parts will be near to closing for the season.

Swimming in late October sounds like a dream
 

Finding out more about Assos village in Kefalonia

I am browsing through Air B nB listings for an upcoming visit to Greece and one in Assos village on Kefalonia caught my eye.

So I decided to see if I can find some information about the village to see if it is worth staying there.

From the picturesque scenery I’ve seen in photos to the glowing reviews I’ve read about its serene vibe, it seems like a must-visit spot. However, as someone who’s never been, I want to make sure I make the most out of my visit.

When is the best time to visit? What else is there to do in the village? Thanks in advance - any info you have is helpful.

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.

Sailing trip around Kefalonia?

I will be in Kefalonia soon and I was thinking of planning a sailing trip for part of it. I'm particularly interested in the best routes to take, must-visit spots, and any hidden gems that I might miss otherwise. Are there any special anchorages or quiet bays perfect for a peaceful night? Additionally, any tips on local regulations, safety precautions, or recommended marinas would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time sailing in this area, so any insights or personal experiences would be really helpful.

Local cuisine to try in Kefalonia?

I believe that one of the best ways to experience a new place is through its food, as it tells so much about its culture and traditions.

I've heard that Kefalonia boasts a vibrant culinary scene, with a variety of dishes that are as stunning as the island's landscapes. From fresh seafood to delightful sweets, I'm looking forward to tasting everything this gem in the Ionian Sea has to offer.

That being said, I would love to get your recommendations on the must-try local dishes and beverages in Kefalonia. Are there any particular restaurants, tavernas, or street food spots that left an impression on you? Additionally, if there are any local markets or food festivals that I should not miss, please do share!

Your insights will be incredibly helpful in crafting my culinary itinerary and ensuring I don't miss out on any great food. Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences and tips!

Seeing the Venetian Influence of Kefalonia?

I'm planning a trip to Kefalonia and I'm particularly interested in exploring the island's Venetian heritage. I've read that the Venetians left a significant mark on Kefalonia's architecture and culture, and I'd love to experience this aspect of the island during my visit.

Could anyone recommend specific sites or towns where I can see the best examples of Venetian influence? I'm also interested in any historical insights or guided tours that focus on this period. Additionally, tips on local foods or festivals that reflect Venetian traditions would be great!

Any advice on how to make the most of this cultural exploration would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
