Advantages: Stunning scenery and an unspolit landscape Disadvantages: None
It seems hard to imagine that less than 48 hours ago I was standing on the top of a mountain top village, Markopoulo in Kefalonia, watching the procession of church goers following the priest into the picturesque church. Sitting under an olive tree and watching the colours of the landscape change, as the sun emerged from a wispy slate grey canopy casting an amber ray of light, like a giant fan illuminating the layers of terraced sun baked earth beneath. The sound of the Greek Orthodox service resonating over the hillside was a perfect end to what had been a week of discovery as the island of Kefalonia gradually unfolded its delights to us.
The largest island in the Ionian chain, this picturesque place was virtually decimated by the earthquake which struck in 1953, leaving only the far north untouched, and so everything you see ...
Advantages: Friendly, peaceful, scenic, excellent value Disadvantages: Might be a bit too quiet for teenagers etc.
I've been to Kefalonia three times, most recently in 1999, and have booked again for 2001. My partner Jayne and I have been to various other Greek islands, but Kefalonia is our favourite and the one we keep going back to. We stay in a resort called Lourdas, on the south-west of the island, and I recommend this for anyone wanting a peaceful, tranquil beach holiday. Unlike many other parts of Greece Lourdas has not been spoiled by over-development, and the people are friendly and welcoming. There are some wonderful tavernas where you can watch the sun go down over a glass of retsina, and Adonis's bar, where you can enjoy a cocktail before your meal or an ice cream afterwards. And if the taverna of choice is a little way from your hotel or apartment, most of the taverna owners will give you a lift back at the end of the evening. That's what ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Kefalonia (Greece)
Advantages: Great food, scenery, quiet, fantastic beaches Disadvantages: Bad airport
I went to Kefalonia for a week at the beginning of July 2005.
The weather was very hot and dry, about 39 degrees celsius, which for me was too hot. The locals said the weather was usually well over 40 degrees at that time of year.
I went to the resort of Skala with Kosmar. Airport transfer was just over an hour but take travelsick pills , as it's a journey with a lot of hairpin bends.
My accommodation was the Michalis Studios in Skala. These were quite basic with a kitchenette (no kettle, so bring a travel kettle), and separate bedroom and balcony. The only problem I found with the accommodation was that there was no air-conditioning and in July, that makes it impossible to sleep at night. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room if you left the windows open (you had to do this as it was very stuffy), so bring one of those plug ...
