How to spend a week in Kefalonia - hiking and exploring the island 🇬🇷🧿

Heyyy, welcome back - it's been a while! We were lucky enough to spend a week in Kefalonia in June this year and we absolutely loved it! We had a nice mix of exploring and relaxing, and wish we could have stayed longer (as always)

I hope you enjoy seeing what we got up to, and you enjoy the facts thrown in about the island along the way :)

Thanks for watching and see you soon!

Jen xx

Back in the 1970s there was an archeologist born and bred on Kefalonia who put forwards a fairly convincing argument that Odesseyus of the Homeric legend was actually from Kefalonia and not Ithacus!I believe the documentary about this is on the net.A truly beautiful Island.Of all of the videos of the Island i have never read one single negative comment concerning Kefalonia! That is nearly impossible in an age where everyone complains about something! Amazing! ❤😊😊

Great video, what a beautiful island. And I love it you showing the vegan options, that will make my decision to go there a lot easier!

I’ve been to Kefalonia 3 times, and seen loads of videos, but this one really stands out! Learned loads for our fourth trip. Good work 🙌🏼

Greece is heaven. If anyone knew how utterly diverse Greece is when you would see all throughout the mainland and then 6000 islands around it. Its just spectacular. From snow capped mountains, to geological paradises, the only natural palm forests in Europe, a whole arc of volcanos, virgin forested islands and regions, highest biodiversity in Europe wity most endemic species to anything inbetween.
Kefalonia is just one paradise of Greeces collection of paradises

[markburch]

I do love Kefalonia so it’s great to get my fix watching

I have been to kefalonia 2 times and it was amazing. I have been to myrotos and even though it’s classed as the prettiest beach on the island, personally I think pentani is even most of the locals say that. That sunrise on the mountain was AMAZING 🤩. I went to the ruins In Sami and they were really pretty but as a 9 year old you have to imagine how boring I found it. I’m not sure if you do because I haven’t watched the video all yet but I went up to the castle on top of assos and the view was amazing. I went to loudass I think that’s how you spell it but the water was like blue milk because it had rained the night before. There’s a lovely restaurant called waiakiki and the food is amazing definitely recommend. I went to poros as well and I loved it. I went to fiscardo and there is some wonderful beaches there. Me and my family went to this beach and the rocks were shaped like mushrooms I think it’s called mushroom beach but at least that’s what we called it. I loved this video all in general and I would love to live in kefalonia when I’m older and I was sad that we had to leave the island. Thanks for the amazing video

[Frugalisama]

Thanks for the review, it is a truly beautiful island, how easy was it to find vegan food, I noticed you mentioned it a couple of times, will be going in a couple of days, so need some recommendations 🤗

[pcr]

Genuinely great shots! Glad you enjoyed Kefalonia! Haven't been there even though I'm Greek, but hope to go one day

[sophiemilburn]

Hi! Thanks for this video it’s great! We are off to Kefalonia in August, staying in Lassi and hoping to drive around the island and visit some of your recommendations! Can I ask what hire car company you went with please? Thank you! 🧡

[chrishogdahl]

Great video. Gonna be staying in Skala for 2 weeks end of September 2024. Must try the Mount Anios sunrise hike. Thanks for the challenge.

[mihaelabornaz]

Hi! Thank you for the video, one of the best I've seen for Kefalonia.❤ One question though, how is the drive, is it steep or dangerous? I am a beginner driver and a little afraid. 😅

[Kateivik]

Hi Jennifer!
How cold it was in Ainos early morning? I'm going there next week ☺

[gopo]

Hi! How much time is from where you park thee car, to that area where u view the sunrise? how much time and how much km? :D thx

[mattyjoyce]

What hotel did you stay in lassi, ? We are going to, the white rocks in 2 weeks . Great video

[PtolemyVV]

Fteri beach in Kefalonia is in fact the most beautiful secret beach in Kefalonia.

[aleksandartrandafilovic]

Is there a place you can park your car when visiting Mount Ainos? Can you somehow avoid that 4-hour hike and get to peak (1628m) faster?

[staceykendall]

Hey, can I ask where you stayed (resort/ hotel) thank you 🥰
