WELCOME TO KEFALONIA

Kefalonia, the largest of the Ionian Islands, is a place where dramatic natural beauty meets a relaxed island rhythm. Mountain ranges plunge into turquoise seas, hidden coves alternate with long sandy beaches, and pine forests perfume the air. The island feels authentic and unhurried, shaped by Venetian history, powerful earthquakes, and a strong local identity that shows in its music, cuisine, and warm hospitality.

An island of striking contrasts and rich character, it is often described as one of the most diverse destinations in Greece. Its landscape is dominated by Mount Ainos, a national park covered in rare black fir trees, offering panoramic views across the Ionian Sea and, on clear days, as far as mainland Greece and neighboring islands. From rugged cliffs and dramatic rock formations to fertile valleys and gentle hills, the island’s natural variety makes every drive feel like a journey through a different place. World-famous beaches such as Myrtos, Petani, and Xi showcase completely different faces of the island—from towering white cliffs and deep blue waters to soft red-sand shores with warm, shallow seas. Hidden coves and small fishing harbors are scattered between larger beaches, rewarding exploration and offering quiet spots where time seems to stand still. Inland villages like Assos, Fiskardo, and Agia Efimia preserve a traditional charm, with stone houses, flower-filled balconies, and small tavernas serving local dishes. Whether exploring caves like Melissani and Drogarati, hiking mountain trails, sailing along the coast, or simply enjoying a slow meal by the sea, Kefalonia offers a sense of space, beauty, and balance that stays with visitors long after they leave.

ARGOSTOLI - THE ISLAND'S LIVELY CAPITAL

At the heart of the island lies Argostoli, Kefalonia’s lively capital. Built around a natural bay, the city center combines everyday local life with gentle cosmopolitan charm. Palm-lined promenades stretch along the waterfront, where fishing boats and yachts sway side by side, and the famous De Bosset Bridge links the town to the opposite shore of the lagoon. Cafés, bakeries, and small shops fill the central streets, while the main square buzzes with conversation from morning coffee to late evening strolls. Argostoli is also known for its close connection to nature—sea turtles often appear in the harbor, and the surrounding hills offer beautiful viewpoints over the bay.

MINIES - A PEACEFUL COASTAL AREA

Just a few minutes south of Argostoli lies Minies, a peaceful coastal area known for its sandy beach and calm, shallow waters. Minies feels quieter and more residential, ideal for those seeking relaxation while staying close to the island’s capital. The beach is backed by greenery and low hills, offering lovely sunset views, and it is popular with both locals and visitors who prefer a laid-back atmosphere. With its proximity to the airport, Argostoli, and other beaches of southern Kefalonia, Minies combines convenience with the simple pleasures of island life—sea, sun, and space to slow down.
