Things to do

A popular excursion in Kefalonia is the Melissani Lake. Located about 5 minutes outside of Sami, Melissani is a mysterious underground salt water lake that glistens as the sun gently beams down on it through a series of overhead apertures. You can take a guided boat ride of this fascinating natural attraction for a small fee, which is a unique experience in itself. For more relaxing getaways head to Myrtos beach, a spectacular bay of white sands and clear blue sea, some of its bays are simply breathtaking and visitors are advised to take an umbrella due to the lack of shade.

Food and drink

Food and drink on Kefalonia holidays is similar to that of neighbouring islands. Olive oil features heavily and fish is hugely popular. Also popular here is Kalamari (squid), when in season Kalamari is usually served fresh, having been grilled or fried whole. Many traditional quaint tavernas serve Kalamari along with many other delicious choices. There is also a selection of restaurants in and around Argostoli and Lassi that offer a change from the regular Greek menu. Several Italian style eateries and other international restaurants lie here along with many fast food restaurants and typical British cafes.
