The most beautiful beaches - Kefalonia - a beautiful island. Beautiful nature, wonderful beaches. Myrtos beach is a must. If you are lucky to find it without waves, you will see a miracle :) To reach the most part of the beaches, you should drive for nearly 30-60 min by car. Advice...visit Assos with sunlight and Fiscardo by night...wonderful places.

Hire a car is a must if you really want to see this Beautiful island . - Came for a weeks holiday and hired a car for 3 days. When we come here again it will be for a longer period and perhaps hire a car for 5 days. we seen quite a lot in 3 days but wish we had spent more time in some places , such a wonderful place the views are out of this world. Some roads have no barriers up high in the mountains , but as long as your not stupid and take your time the views are priceless . Most Roads up in the mountains can be very quite and most roads have enough room for two cars to pass.

Delightful day discovering Kefalonia - we purchased our excursion from the young lady who ended up being our guide from Avalon Travel Services. She was very knowledgeable and was able to provide lots of information on St George castle and the St Andres monastery. I am not a wine buff but the family operated Divino Winery was the best ! I purchased red wine and balsamic vinegar.
