Things to Do in Kefalonia

Kefalonia — Thing to Do on ViaTravelers

  • Melissani Cave

    Melissani Cave

    At midday, sunlight hits Melissani’s open roof and turns the lake an impossible blue — the kind you assume is a filter until you’re in the boat.

  • Myrtos Beach

    Myrtos Beach

    Myrtos hits different from the road above — 300m limestone cliffs, white marble pebbles, and that cobalt-to-turquoise shift you have to see to believe.

  • Tassia’s Restaurant

    Tassia’s Restaurant

    Tassia Dendrinou has been cooking in Fiskardo since the 1980s. The Kefalonian meat pie alone justifies the drive to the northern tip.

  • The Fisherman’s Cabin

    The Fisherman’s Cabin

    The Fisherman’s Cabin in Assos sits in a converted storage house — the family has been serving the day’s catch here since the 1970s.

  • Il Borgo

    Il Borgo

    Il Borgo sits inside a real Kefalonian castle — the kind of setting that makes tourist-trap waterfront spots feel embarrassing by comparison.

  • Monastery of Saint Gerasimos

    Monastery of Saint Gerasimos

    Kefalonia’s most sacred site sits quietly in the Omala valley — the saint’s relics are here, and the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else on the island.
