- Kefalonia - This is the best island in Greece!
Kefalonia, situated to the west of mainland Greece, is an absolute standout destination to visit when travelling through Greece.
The landscape of the island is unique and truly breathtaking, featuring some of the most dramatic coastlines in the Mediterranean, stunning azure beaches and picturesque villages with the friendliest locals!
Arriving in Kefalonia has always been like a homecoming for me, having family roots on the island and where possible Sebastian and I try to return often.
On this trip, we spent 7 days on the island visiting relatives and many of our favorite locations.
Places featured in this travel vlog include:
Petani beach
Porto Atheras
Lixouri
Agia Effimia
Sami
St George Castle
Agios Gerasimos Monastery
Assos

Greetings from America. I was on Kefalonia for two weeks in 2019, and I agree it is absolutely one of the most beautiful islands in Greece. And I say that as someone who has visited many of them.
Have you guys ever heard of Karpathos? For me it is my #1 favorite island in all of Greece. The wild beauty and the authentic culture are incredible.
Thanks for watching. Yes we have heard of Karpathos and would love to go there! Each time we travel to Greece, we try to cover new islands, so eventually we will get there too! We have only visited Kos and Rhodes in the dodecanese at this stage.
when you are travelling in greek islands try to choose the place that you will stay, to be close to the center of the island so you will have everything in your feet!
Agreed, that definitely helps as it's a large island with so much to see.
😍👍🏻 thank you guys for a great video!
Thanks for watching!
How beautiful! My Dad's side of the family are also from Kefalonia and my goal is to travel there and take my son next year! Great tips in here - thank you!
Thank you for showing everyone the beauty of my beautiful island . I grew up there but now i live in Canada 😢
Your welcome. I live and grew up in Australia. Both parents are from Kefalonia so we talk of Kefalonia often. It's a very special part of the planet!
Kefalonia - Home of my Heart since I’ve been there for the first time in 1980.
Kefalonia takes your heart every time
Thanks for sharing. Im detecting an Aussie accent. I fell in love with Kefalonia in 2022. Just wish it wasn't a 20hr flight to get there for us. Sure beats the hell out of Bali.
Love Bali, but Greece is a different league! Ironically I'm currently working on our Bali Vlog ATM. Stay tuned 😁
Great helpful vlog thank you
Thank you for watching. Enjoy your travels in Kefalonia
Thanks for posting. My late father came from Kefalonia... small village at the foot of St George castle. One day l shall return.❤😊
It's beautiful. Always a heartwarming experience on return to the island!
Wonderful video! I appreciate the hard work.
Thank you. Very kind. Alot of time goes into editing but it's also very enjoyable. Enjoy your travels to Kefalonia
Great video! Lots of good info. Thank you!
Thank you. Happy and safe travels
I love to comment, I love all your videos and this video quality is amazing. Well done :)
Thank you. Enjoyed putting this one together
I can't refrain from mentioning that I like your style and rhythm constructing the videos which are very much up to standard, explanatory and relaxing at the same time . . .
Thank you very much.
Fantastic video, best one yet! Love the commentary, great video quality as well.
Thank you.
Best tour of Kefi, cheers guys
Thank you. There is always so much to see and do on the island 😀
I really loved your video, very informative 😊
Thank you. Hope you have a lovely time on the island!
Super video and editing skills. Very helpful and looking forward to going in 5 weeks time 👍❤
Thank you. Have a great holiday on wonderful Kefalonia!
I always put a little bit of my food on a side plate for the wasps . We can both eat in peace then .
That's actually a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing. Far better than our approach of trying to eat our food as fast as we can :)
Loved the video, very informative! I’ve only been to the Cyclades and I’m dying to explore the Ionian side. Kefalonia looks absolutely beautiful. I’ve read June and September are ideal months to go since there aren’t as many tourists. When did you guys go?
Thank you. You definitely should visit the Ionian islands 😀. They have they have their own character and are different from the Aegean Islands. .
Awesome informative video guys. I’m trying to decide which will be the first Greek island I’ll travel to out of Kefalonia, Alonissos, or Paxos (have you been to these islands?) I keep being drawn back to Kefalonia. It reminds of Sardegna (which is my fave in Italy). Oh and a like 👍🏼 re humidity is it humid or a dry heat in Kef?
Have only been to Kefalonia out of the three! Paxos is on the next travel itinerary to Greece! Have heard it's like the Maldives of Greece!
Just found your page…..any plans for Skiathos or Skorpelos? I liked how you present each location in Kefalonia…….I am researching travel in all three of the mentioned places
Thank you. I live in Australia but a Greece trip is ALWAYS in the planning. Would love to cover the Sporades region including those two. They have their own charm which is different from the Ionian islands but you cannot go wrong with any Greek Island
@@FindingJeremyandSebastian we did Crete last month…..but the next trip will involve more relaxing time !!
Great video! Thanks. I am planning to go there end of Apr for a month. Curious if shops/restaurants are open this time of the year? Seems like tourism season starts in June so wanna make sure that locals are still living a normal life😊
Generally the tourism season on the island starts from May. You will find a few shops/ restaurants will be open all year. The island has a reasonable all year population to sustain all year business.
@@FindingJeremyandSebastian thanks so much🤗
Great video! Do you know if you have to be above a certain age to rent a car? (with a drivers license of course)
Thank you. Yes, I believe it's 18+ to hire a car.
Kef is great, but Ithaki is even better!
Ithaki is a dream! We have been a couple of times but this was before we created our CZcams. A return to Ithaki is on the plans next time we get to Greece!
Great video guys. We're going at the start of Sept. And why do wasps always have to show up and spoil the moment making you run around like a pansy flapping your arms! There's worse I guess...hornets.
Thank you. Yes so true, thank goodness there are no hornets! Safe travels and enjoy Kefalonia!
I believe that this beautiful island which looks more subtropical than Mediterranean is not over run by tourists . Mykonos is a joke and is too crowded in summer . You couldn’t swing a cat on Paradise beach . Kefalonia is the only Greek island I would visit and Sardinia Italy .
Well said! It's beautiful ❤️
Totally agree Louisa. Spent a week on both 2 years ago. Hated Mykonos. If we hadn't paid for our accommodation we would have gone back to Kef. Just wish it wasn't a 20hr plus flight to get there for us.
Lixouri a town of 45 thousand people? That'll be the day...
4 to 5 thousand people. Ill blame it on my Australian accent! We get lazy and sometimes eat our words
i see you was driving the parking is it pay and display or use a card and phone app
Parking is free, but just observe any no standing signs. I did get a fine one year for parking in a taxi zone! .
Hi, you posted this 11 days ago, it this when you where there? We are going in 2 weeks and want an idea of the weather and temp.
Hi there, this was filmed in August 2022 and was part of a long trip travelling in Europe. I've visited the island in May in the past, and it was pleasant but still a little cool.
Don't worry my friend, the weather and temperature will be good enough when you'll come and it will not be crouded 🇬🇷
@@marinermwraitis4328 Hello friend! I'll be visiting Argostoli next month (On may the 6th). Do you think the weather will be warm enough to take a swim on the beach? Or is it too cool still? Thank you very much 🥰
@@stephaniestuart9722 it will be sunny days and good weather for swimming.
@@stephaniestuart9722 Greeks start going for swimming during May.For us is normal.
did you hire a car or a bike?
On this trip we had a car. It's a large island and unfortunately public transport is limited so a car or motor bike is needed
Lixouri 45,000 population? There's only 35,000 on the whole island. At least fact check
Thanks for watching. I'm going to put it down to my Australian Accent.
I actually said Lixouri is a town of 4 to 5 thousand people, not 45 thousand..
Mirtos ?
We have been to Mirtos in the past, but generally, don't stop in Mirtos. It is often very busy and can be hard to get in and out of with the car. I would, however, recommend taking a picture from the lookout above and just going to Petani, which is a similar beach.
