Holidays to Kefalonia

With its glistening coast and herb-scented breezes, Kefalonia stands as the largest and one of the most alluring Greek islands in the Ionian Sea. Its shores lie dotted with picturesque coves and ribboned with secluded beaches, while its mountainous heart is quilted in oleander, oak forest, olive groves and vineyards. Across its rugged landscapes and golden meadowland, the evocative shriek of cicadas – a quintessential Mediterranean sound - mingles with the soft tinkle of goat bells.

Steeped in history and mythology, Kefalonia’s picturesque towns and villages bear the marks of the island’s Hellenistic, Roman and Venetian influence – though some remnants of these illustrious periods were damaged in a devastating 1953 earthquake. Still, quaint harbour villages like Assos, Fiskardo and Agia Effimia flaunt Italianate charm and a cultural authenticity that is unmistakably Greek.

For a luxury Greece holiday, this bewitching Ionian island offers plenty, from its sun-drenched beaches to its fish-filled waters to its adventure-inspiring landscapes. Browse our hand-picked selection of luxury Kefalonia hotels to find your perfect Greek island getaway.
