Kefalonia on a Budget
Kefalonia Kefalonia, Greece
With its dramatic landscapes, picturesque villages, and endless sandy beaches, Kefalonia offers a quintessential Greek island experience away from the crowds. This stunning Ionian gem has something for everyone, from outdoor adventurers to history buffs to beach bums. Kefalonia provides excellent value compared to some of Greece's more popular islands like Santorini or Mykonos. Hotels are not as expensive, and budget-friendly options are common. Eating at casual tavernas or buying fresh produce from local markets can keep food costs very reasonable, too.
Sights
Kefalonia's top sights showcase its natural splendor and cultural roots. The jaw-dropping Melissani Cave with its underground lake is a must-see, as are the Drogarati Caves with impressive stalactites and stalagmites. In Argostoli, the lively capital, you'll find the Archaeological Museum with fascinating exhibits on Kefalonia's ancient history. Beach lovers will be in paradise exploring coves like Myrtos, Antisamos, and Horgota. For a taste of village life, spend a day wandering Fiscardo with its Venetian architecture and waterfront tavernas.

Activities
With both rugged mountains and turquoise waters, Kefalonia is an ideal destination for outdoor adventures. Explore the underground Mellisani Lake by boat or venture below ground on a tour of the Drogarati Caves. Take a scenic hike on trails with views of the beaches, coves, and cypress forests. Sea kayaking, sailing, scuba diving, and snorkeling provide even more ways to enjoy Kefalonia's stunning coastline and marine life. Guided boat trips to nearby islands are also a popular activity.
Food and Dining
Like the rest of Greece, Kefalonia's cuisine celebrates fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with olive oil, tomatoes, feta, fish and meat playing star roles. Must-try dishes include kreatopita (meat pie), salted cod, and the island's unique meat and rice mixtavili. Kefalonia is also known for its peppery krasi wine and pasteli sesame snacks. For an authentic experience, seek out family-run tavernas in villages like Fiskardo.

Transportation
There are direct flights to Kefalonia from several European hubs as well as ferries from mainland Greece and nearby islands like Zakynthos and Lefkada. Renting a car is advised to explore Kefalonia's remote beaches and inland areas, but there are also good local buses serving the main towns and attractions. Tours are also an option, as they can take you around the island to various attractions and beautiful spots in a convenient way.
