General presentation
Kefalonia and Ithaca
Great Ionian duo between cliffs, caves, famous beaches, port villages, Ainos mountain and slower atmosphere of Ithaca.
The discovery of Cephalonia and Ithaca revolves around Myrtos, Fiskardo and Assos. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline, the mountain reliefs and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 5 to 9 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: long distances and internal ferries. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Myrtos
Myrtos is the great iconic beach of Céphalonie, caught between high cliffs, light pebbles and sea often of a milky blue. The points of view from the road are almost as striking as swimming, especially when the waves draw white strips on the shore.
Town or village
Fiskardo
Fiskardo is a northern port of Céphalonie, with colourful houses, recreational docks, cypresses and transparent water around the rocks. The village has kept architecture more intact than other areas of the island, which gives it a very recognizable ionic look.
Town or village
Assos
Assos occupies a thin tongue of land at the foot of a fortified peninsula, with pastel houses, small beach and boats in a quiet bay. The climb to the Venetian castle brings the most beautiful views of the village and the cliffs of the north of Céphalonie.
