Discover Kefalonia with NAVARO
Kefalonia, the largest and most mountainous of the Ionian Islands, captivates visitors with its dramatic landscape of towering cliffs, impossibly turquoise waters, and underground geological wonders. Myrtos Beach, consistently rated among Europe's most beautiful, is Kefalonia's crown jewel - a crescent of brilliant white pebbles set against vertical limestone cliffs that plunge 300 meters into iridescent turquoise-blue waters. The beach gained fame from Captain Corelli's Mandolin film, but photos don't do justice to the reality. The viewpoint from the clifftop road above (perfect for photography) reveals why National Geographic called it "Greece's most breathtaking beach."
Beyond beaches, Kefalonia's underground caves create magical experiences. Melissani Cave is an underground lake where the partially collapsed roof allows sunlight to stream through, creating an otherworldly blue glow (best effect 12 PM - 2 PM when sun is directly overhead). Small boats glide across the crystal-clear water revealing submerged stalactites. Nearby Drogarati Cave showcases a massive chamber filled with impressive stalactites and stalagmites, with acoustics so perfect concerts are held here. Above ground, Fiscardo village (the only settlement untouched by Kefalonia's devastating 1953 earthquake) preserves colorful Venetian buildings along a picturesque harbor filled with yachts, while Assos peninsula village features pastel houses clustered around a dramatic Venetian fortress.
NAVARO's Kefalonia transfers provide easy navigation of this 781 km² island where a car is essential. Kefalonia Airport (EFL) is conveniently located 9 km from capital Argostoli (15-20 minutes), or we provide direct transfers to Fiscardo (60-70 minutes north), beach resorts, or villages. Ferry passengers arriving at Sami, Poros, or Pessada ports receive seamless pickups. Day tours can combine Myrtos Beach viewpoint, Melissani Cave, Fiscardo harbor lunch, and Assos village - showcasing Kefalonia's diversity. Unlike party-focused islands, Kefalonia offers sophisticated natural beauty, excellent local wine (Robola variety), authentic tavernas serving meat pie kreatopita, and that rare Ionian combination of dramatic mountains meeting turquoise seas. It's Captain Corelli's Mandolin magic brought to life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Kefalonia transfers
Q:How do I get to Myrtos Beach from the airport?
Kefalonia Airport to Myrtos Beach is 42 km (50 minutes) via Argostoli. Route goes through capital then winds up mountain roads with spectacular views. The clifftop viewpoint parking (before beach descent) is the famous photo spot - plan 15 minutes for pictures. Beach access involves steep winding road down. No public transport - transfer essential. €50 from Argostoli, or combine with Assos village visit (nearby). Best visited morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and crowds.
Q:When is the best time to visit Melissani Cave?
Melissani Cave magic happens 12 PM - 2 PM when sun is directly overhead, streaming through the collapsed roof to create ethereal blue light effects in the underground lake. Arrive slightly before noon to avoid coach tour crowds (€7 entrance, 15-minute boat ride included). Morning/afternoon visits are still beautiful but lighting less dramatic. Cave is 11 km from Sami port, 30 km from Argostoli (€45 transfer). Combine with nearby Drogarati Cave (stalactites, 5 km away) for perfect half-day tour.
Q:Is Fiscardo worth visiting?
Absolutely! Fiscardo is Kefalonia's most picturesque village - the only settlement that survived the 1953 earthquake, preserving original colorful Venetian buildings. Charming harbor filled with yachts, waterfront tavernas, boutique shops, relaxed upscale vibe. Perfect for lunch or evening dining. 50 km from Argostoli (60 minutes), €95 from airport (70 minutes). Ideal day tour: Fiscardo lunch + Myrtos Beach + Assos village (all on same north coast route). Much more charming than Argostoli capital.
Q:Do I need a car to explore Kefalonia?
Yes, Kefalonia is mountainous (781 km²) with attractions spread across the island - car or transfers essential. Public buses are limited and don't reach Myrtos, caves, or northern villages. Many visitors rent cars, but mountain roads are winding and narrow (can be challenging). Our transfer service lets you enjoy views without driving stress, plus drivers know best photo stops, cave timing, and hidden beaches. Day tour option combines multiple sites efficiently. Argostoli-Fiscardo alone is 60 minutes of mountain curves.
Q:What about Captain Corelli's Mandolin filming locations?
Many scenes filmed at Sami port town (where you see "Cephallonia" movie set), Antisamos Beach (German camp scenes - beautiful turquoise bay, excellent swimming), and Myrtos Beach viewpoint. Argostoli's Vallianou Square (De Bosset Bridge nearby) appears in town scenes. Our drivers know exact locations and can create Captain Corelli tour. Film brought worldwide attention to Kefalonia's beauty, but island is even more stunning than movie portrayed. Novel's romantic wartime story deeply connected to island history.
Q:Can you combine Kefalonia with other Ionian islands?
Yes! Ferry connections: Sami port to Ithaca (Odysseus' home - 40 minutes), Zakynthos island (summer seasonal ferries from Pessada), and indirect connections to Corfu via mainland. Most visitors fly into Kefalonia, spend 4-5 days exploring (Myrtos, caves, villages, beaches), then ferry to Zakynthos for Navagio shipwreck beach before flying out. Or combine with Ithaca day trip. We coordinate ferry port transfers - Sami port is 25 km from Argostoli (€30).
