Do you have any tips for my flight to Kefalonia?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Kefalonia. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kefalonia?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Kefalonia a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:
  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.

Why You Should Take a Flight to Kefalonia

Kefalonia offers something very different to other Greek islands. Its scenery encompasses lush, green fir-capped mountains alongside the golden beaches and rocky coves that you’d expect. And tucked away inside this gorgeous landscape are old castles, monasteries, forts and beguiling old towns to explore.

When to Book Cheap Flights to Kefalonia

The peak season in Kefalonia runs from May to late October. During this time cheaper flights are harder to find – although booking a visit in May, September or October could help you unearth some bargains.

Outside of peak season the weather still promises you the sun you seek, except during the period between December and February when temperatures do drop significantly.

November, March and April are generally pleasant, although the weather can be more unpredictable and the air can feel chilly at night.

You can find great deals on your flight tickets outside of the peak season – and you’ll definitely have a quieter, more relaxing break.

How to Find the Best Flight Deals to Kefalonia

Booking ahead of you planned departure always increases your chances of bagging a bargain – as does the season you are looking to book flights to Kefalonia in.

However, at any time of the year there are ways you can find cheaper flights. Using Expedia you can select ‘Show flexible dates’ when you search for flights. This will quickly reveal if booking your flights on a different day will offer significant savings.

You can also check if ‘Nearby airports’ offer more convenient flight times or a cheaper airfare. If you are flying from a London airport it’s always worth selecting ‘All London airports’, rather than just one, to see if carriers using an alternative London airport offer lower-priced fares.

With flight option available from many UK airports here are some typical flight times:

Main Airports in Kefalonia

Kefalonia Airport is located on the southwest part of the island, just five miles from the capital of Argostoli. There is a limited bus service from the airport to the city but most people opt for a taxi or arrange car hire.

If you are travelling straight on to a resort arranging a shuttle through your hotel is your best bet if you are not hiring a car to explore the island during your stay.

The carriers offering Cheap Flights to Kefalonia include:

How to Get Around in Kefalonia

Car hire is definitely an attractive option – and Kefalonia’s roads are easy to navigate. It is possible to get to almost any point on Kefalonia, even remote beaches, villages, and monasteries, by the KTEL bus service but its schedules are restrictive and it makes journeying around the island time-consuming. For shorter journeys taxis are widely available on the island.

What Are the Must-Sees in Kefalonia?

There are many reasons to visit the capital of Argostoli but one lesser-known one is to see wild loggerhead turtles. Drop by Argostoli Bay in the morning and these turtles patrol the waters waiting for fishermen to discard unsold scraps.

You can take a gondola ride over the stunning underground Melissani Lake. Glide over its electric-blue waters as you take in this undiscovered gem.

Just a 40-minute drive from the capital the Drogarati Caves offer another underground world to explore. Make your way down the stone steps and you’ll arrive in a chilly, floodlit cavern filled with twisting stalagmites and stalactites formed over thousands of years.

And you thought this was going to be a beach holiday!
