Kefalonia Holidays - Travel Guide

Family Friendly Kefalonia holidays - Kefalonia Hotels & Apartments only

Aparthotel Karavados for great views of the Aegean SeaKefalonia - the island of Captain Corelli fame - is the largest of the Ionian Islands and boasts the third largest mountain range in Greece. A national park and home to wild ponies, golden eagles, ospreys and other protected species. With spectacular scenery and magnificent beaches this beautiful Island was once voted tenth in a world scenic beauty league. Turquoise waters lap at dazzling beaches under dizzy cliffs, and citrus groves, alive with fluttering fauna, immerse picturesque villages in a tangy aroma. Here you may chance upon a feast day where all is a riot of colour and laughter - the emphasis is on agreeable days spent in convivial company, rather than sleepless boozy nights. There is little wonder why most visitors choose to repeat the experience again and again. Marine wildlife in the area includes dolphins, rare monk seals and the loggerhead turtle.

Things to do in Kefalonia

If you are looking for theme & water parks then Kefalonia isn't for you. The island suites families that can make their own entertainment and want to get out and see more of what a Greek island is all about. You could hire a boat for around €70 a day and take a trip around the beautiful coastline exploring some of the hidden bays and coves. Horseback Riding is available in several places around the island and is a great way to see the countryside. Scuba diving is very popular and a good place to start is a visit to Aquatic Scuba Diving School in Agia Efimia where you will find that they offer a full range of training courses and dive packages for qualified divers and complete beginners.  Inexpensive activities such as hiking the slopes of Mt. Enos and swimming in one of Kefalonia's spectacular beaches should be in everyone's schedule. Kefalonia is a place full of wonders and there really is something for everyone but you have to go out and find it.

 
 
     
  Free child places available on holidays & accommodationFree child places - Holidays, Hotels & Apartments. Our dynamic search does all the hard work in sourcing holidays with free child places. It searches from self catering holidays right through to all inclusive holidays with free child places and only returns the best deal found. All you need to do is enter the childrens ages on the last day of the holiday and the database will show the best deal available. If your party includes teenagers above 11 then you must enter these as adults as the airline will charge an adult fare.
