WHEN TO SEE IT AT ITS BEST

Welcome to Kefalonia Island, where glorious summers are a norm, but packed beaches during prime swimming weather can be overwhelming. The island welcomes most visitors from April to October, especially during the summer months when school holidays bring in more people. Although the temperatures are hot and incredible during this time, if you're looking for a less crowded vacation with mild weather, visit in spring or fall. You're more likely to enjoy a calm beach without many people around to ruin your idyllic vacation pictures. Kefalonia is a bigger island, so we recommend spending a full week minimum here and at least one entire day at Myrtos Beach to see the colors change throughout the day. Be sure to arrive early, before 10 am, to beat most of the crowds.
