Places To Visit On Kefalonia

From the archaeological museum in Argostoli to the renowned caverns and caves at Drogorati, there's plenty to see on this Ionian island. One of the islands best beaches is Kimilia Beach, which is near Fiscardo, a small town that offers a sense of the island’s past. Alternatively, a stay in Kefalonia is probably incomplete without seeing Petani beach, which is about 30 kilometres west via the Lixouri ferry. At Petani, the waves lap gently on its sun-bleached white pebbles, which form an impressive foreground for spectacular sunsets. Emblisi beach is also worth a visit, located in the northeast part of the island. The beach is relatively quiet for its impressively large size. Myrtos Beach is an earthly paradise that has earned superb ratings from its many visitors, owed to its crystal clear waters, panoramic views, and wonderful sunsets with hues of orange and rose.

Parking And Traffic Information In Kefalonia

Usually, parking places are not difficult to find outside the town centres. On this large island, traffic conditions can vary considerably. Minor roads that connect to coastal resorts and inland villages often have sporadic potholes, so drivers should try to return to town before darkness falls. In busy areas, the general rule is to give way to traffic coming from the right, including on roundabouts, which are located mainly on the island's south coast road. Also, although it may be a myth that donkeys have the right of way on Greek roads, it is nonetheless wise to show consideration and give way.
