I have visited Kefalonia 6 times over the years and would love to visit every year if possible.
When you arrive at the airport and first step off the plane, and feel the heat, and see the sea and sunshine - its a good feeling. For me it is like arriving home. Theres something about Kefalonia that makes me feel at ease and relaxed.

I have always stayed in the resort of Skala as its quiet, and is near the beach.

There are not too many nightclubs and all the restaurants serve greek food and also typical English food! I think that is a major plus for me that there is not too many nightclubs etc on this island as it retains its charm and keeps away the crowds!

I have stayed at several different places within Skala - Makis Hotel, which was newly opned when we stayed there. It was lovely being so close to the beach and the road wasnt that busy. The staff there were very friendly.

I would recommend hiring a car to everyone as it means you can just drive wherever you wish. Some days we would drive to a tiny beach at a side of a road and park the car. We would be the only people there. The turquoise sea and empty beach was ideal to relax on.

Hopefully I will be returning to Kefalonia soon and you never know I may live there one day!
