Must‑See Attractions (Effortless with a Car)
1. Myrtos Beach – The postcard superstar
A steep, winding road drops you onto a mile‑long crescent of dazzling white pebbles framed by towering limestone cliffs. Arrive early for parking and watch the marble‑rich seabed paint the water bright turquoise.
2. Melissani Cave & Underground Lake
Glide across sapphire water lit by a collapsed roof shaft. Mid‑day sun creates magical blue beams – aim for 11:30‑13:30.
3. Assos Village
Follow the coastal hairpins to this pastel‑painted hamlet on a narrow isthmus. Park outside the entrance and stroll to the Venetian castle ruins for panoramic snaps.
4. Fiscardo Harbour
The island’s chic north‑east port lined with yachts, seafood tavernas and boutiques. Perfect lunch stop before looping back via cypress‑draped hills.
5. Mount Ainos National Park
Swap flip‑flops for hiking shoes and climb among Kefalonia fir trees (unique to the island) at 1,628 m. On clear days you’ll spot Ithaca, Zakynthos and even the Peloponnese.
6. Kaminia Beach – Turtle territory
Kefalonia’s southern sands host Caretta caretta nests each summer. Respect the markers and enjoy the shallow, family‑friendly sea.
