The island is a popular destination for cruise ships as more and more visitors flock in to experience the amazing sites it has to offer. If you are looking for an A-list or luxury Kefalonia holiday, here’s the ultimate guide.
How to Get There
One of the most laborious parts of any holiday is traveling, especially if you have to be stuck in a plane where passengers are packed like sardines. However, this doesn’t have to be the case for you if you upgrade your flight to either first or business class. Alternatively, you should equip yourself with critical skills for surviving long haul flights.
Fortunately, plenty of online resources can help you search your preferred departure dates. In addition, using online services can also help you travel in luxury without necessarily bankrupting your account. In first class or business class, expect to find bigger seats with more legroom, better food as well as a few more luxuries depending on the airline you pick.
Exploring Kefalonia
It’s true that public transport is never fun, especially when you are in a new country where the weather is hot and sticky. To experience the ultimate in luxury travel, consider swapping the public bus for a chauffeur or private taxi, with plenty of choices available in Kefalonia to fit into your budget.
The options above offer you a more intimate and personal means of exploring this beautiful island. You can enjoy the sites even better as a group, couple or alone by hiring your own car.
Where to Stay
If you are looking for the ultimate experience in pampering and care during your Kefalonia holiday stay, one of the luxury hotels is recommended. In fact, some of the rooms have their own private pool, and you can rest assured that you will get round-the-clock room service.
If you like privacy, private luxury holiday accommodation is also available. On the other hand, you can make your holiday a lifetime memory by renting your own private yacht. Whatever your taste, there’s always an option available.
Activities in Kefalonia
No holiday in the beautiful Kefalonia can be considered complete if you haven’t spent a couple of days on the beach. However, the last thing you want is being stuck on a beach with thousands of other tourists.
A good place to relax is the Spartia Beach, which is relatively unknown to many. The best thing about this beach is that it is very shallow and sandy, making it the ideal spot for your younger kids. In addition, there’s a huge tavern right over the beach with an extensive range of delicious dishes.
Other must-do activities while in Kefalonia include Scuba diving, a wine tour, horseback riding, and donkey trekking. Make your vacation even more memorable with activities like cruises to Ithaca, sail visiting typical Ionian Greek villages and secluded beaches, and discovering Kefalonia’s hidden beauties through walking trails.
Dining
Greece is famous for its food, and Kefalonia is no exception as it has many excellent gourmet restaurants available. You can choose to visit one of the small taverns around the island for a scrumptious serving of the local cuisine. Some of the delicacies available include fresh seafood, mpakaliaropita, aliada, kreatopita and the local feta cheese that goes down well with a bottle of Kefalonian wine.
Remember to Have Fun…
The summer heat in Kefalonia will slow you down, as does the lapping of the sea. So, once you get there, do what the Kefalonians do, make the most of the morning coolness and enjoy your luxury Greece holiday.
