Things to Do in Kefalonia

Kefalonia — Thing to Do on ViaTravelers

  • Stained Glass Entrance to the Dom Perignon 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.

  • The electric blue waters and white sand of Myrtos Beach, Kefalonia, Greece

    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.

  • Aerial view of Mykonos town, Greece, showcasing coastal beauty and iconic white architecture

    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.

  • Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel Walking Path

    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.

  • Statues of David in the Bargello Museum

    Il Borgo

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

  • Phone and a Sim Card

    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.
