  • Heyyy, welcome back - it's been a while! We were lucky enough to spend a week in Kefalonia in June this year and we absolutely loved it! We had a nice mix of exploring and relaxing, and wish we could have stayed longer (as always)
    I hope you enjoy seeing what we got up to, and you enjoy the facts thrown in about the island along the way :)
    Thanks for watching and see you soon!

    I have been to kefalonia 2 times and it was amazing. I have been to myrotos and even though it’s classed as the prettiest beach on the island, personally I think pentani is even most of the locals say that. That sunrise on the mountain was AMAZING 🤩. I went to the ruins In Sami and they were really pretty but as a 9 year old you have to imagine how boring I found it. I’m not sure if you do because I haven’t watched the video all yet but I went up to the castle on top of assos and the view was amazing. I went to loudass I think that’s how you spell it but the water was like blue milk because it had rained the night before. There’s a lovely restaurant called waiakiki and the food is amazing definitely recommend. I went to poros as well and I loved it. I went to fiscardo and there is some wonderful beaches there. Me and my family went to this beach and the rocks were shaped like mushrooms I think it’s called mushroom beach but at least that’s what we called it. I loved this video all in general and I would love to live in kefalonia when I’m older and I was soooooosososo sad that we had to leave the island. Thanks for the amazing video

    Back in the 1970s there was an archeologist born and bred on Kefalonia who put forwards a fairly convincing argument that Odesseyus of the Homeric legend was actually from Kefalonia and not Ithacus!I believe the documentary about this is on the net.A truly beautiful Island.Of all of the videos of the Island i have never read one single negative comment concerning Kefalonia! That is nearly impossible in an age where everyone complains about something! Amazing! ❤😊😊

    Thanks for the review, it is a truly beautiful island, how easy was it to find vegan food, I noticed you mentioned it a couple of times, will be going in a couple of days, so need some recommendations 🤗

    • @staywildjen
      @staywildjen  Před 8 měsíci +3

      hello! and thanks for watching :) Unlike Crete, we didn't come across any solely veggie/vegan restaurants, however everywhere was accommodating, and you could ask for cheese to be excluded from a dish, for example. The place we went to on the harbour in Argostoli had a separate vegan menu (where I ate the gyros) which was lovely - though it is fake meats so depends on your stance with that. The more built up areas such as Argostoli would have a few restaurants with a small separate vegan menu, otherwise asking for dairy to be left off or picking greek dishes which are naturally vegan anyway was really easy to do. I used the app HappyCow too. Have the best time!

    Hi! How much time is from where you park thee car, to that area where u view the sunrise? how much time and how much km? :D thx

    • @staywildjen
      @staywildjen  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hi! sorry for the later reply. From where we parked to the summit is not hard and took roughly 45 and is about 1.5km one way I'd say. The path is easy to follow though we did use and AllTrails route just incase, and to help guide us for the rest of the walk too

  • @aleksandartrandafilovic9144
    @aleksandartrandafilovic9144 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Is there a place you can park your car when visiting Mount Ainos? Can you somehow avoid that 4-hour hike and get to peak (1628m) faster?

    • @staywildjen
      @staywildjen  Před 3 měsíci +2

      Hi. You can park for free at the top next to the radio towers. You can simply hike to the summit and back if you wish which would take approx 1-1.5 hours depending on your fitness level. We wanted to do a long hike hence the 4 hours but there's much shorter routes around the area. I used AllTrails to find the route so perhaps look on their to find shorter routes :)

    Is it necessary to rent a car in Kefaliona?

    • @staywildjen
      @staywildjen  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes, if you plan on exploring the island. It makes it so much easier to get around. I'm sure there are bus services but I never looked into it. And if you're staying at a resort you could book excursions which include travel, but we did it all ourselves to give us more freedom :)
