Kefalonia Guide

Kefalonia has more to offer the visitor and the resident than any other island in the Mediterranean with its fertile land, secluded beaches, mysterious caves and outstanding Mediterranean scenerios. The island has been endowed with a rich cultural legacy that goes back 5000 years. The great ancient civilisations of the island have left behind some of the finest archaeological remains amongst the Ionian Islands.

Travel from the beautiful coasts into the breathtaking fir forests; visit Ainos Mountain Range in the winter for trekking expeditions and other winter sports, experience an outstanding combination of colours in the springtime, endless blue skies and sunshine in the summer, explore numerous caves, enjoy wind surfing and sailing during the summer season, shake hands with the locals, whose reputation for hospitality, arts and good food is nationwide, and you'll want to stay forever.

Soft sea breezes blow onto the inland to create a wonderfully healthy year-round climate where plenty tropical plants grow. After all Kefalonia is the 2nd sunniest place in Greece. Not only the climate, but also the relatively low cost of living make Kefalonia an attractive place for a holiday home, second home, or place for retirement.

The island's outstanding natural beauty, the low rate of crime and the stable national economy also contribute to the advantages of buying real estate in Kefalonia.
