17 Best Hotels in Kefalonia (2024 UPDATE)

The little paradise of Eliamos Hotel on Kefalonia island

The Best Hotels in Kefalonia are mostly located on or around the capital town of Argostoli or at the super cute Fiscardo fish village, Skala town or Lassi. Kefalonia is one of the biggest and greenest Greek islands and you definitely need a car to move around. In fact, it is the island that my grandparent was from (in the small village called Pesada, most of the locals actually have my surname!), and I have visited the island quite a lot of times.

Kefalonia belongs to the Ionian islands in western Greece, and it’s one of the largest greek islands. Kefalonia is the island where the famous movie Captain Corelli’s Mandolin with Nicolas Cage, which really helped expose this island’s natural beauty and stunning landscapes.

Kefalonia island is not very close to Athens, and you can reach it by travelling by car or bus to Kyllini Port (3.5 hours drive) and then taking a 1.5 hours ferry to Kefalonia. The easier way is just to take a direct 45-minute flight from Athens or from a few European cities like London, Paris, Manchester, Vienna or even Milan. There is an international airport on Kefalonia Island, but international flights operate only between May and October (always check Ferryhopper for the latest ferry schedules and Booking.com Flights for the most up-to-date flights to Greek islands).
