Things to do and see in Kefalonia, Greece

Greece is beautiful country filled with wonderful beaches. There are a lot of tourist filled places to visit in Greece, but a lot of people don’t realise that there are other places in Greece to visit too. If you are looking for a more relaxed, beach holiday, then Kefalonia, Greece is a great place to visit. Although it is a small island and does not have as many activities compared to other Greek Islands, there are a few things to do and see in Kefalonia, Greece.

1) Visit the beaches

Of course, the first one is very obvious, but there are quite a few different beaches located on the island. You can spend a whole day or two going from one beach to the other. You may want to stay for a few hours, but if like me, you get bored easily, then visiting different beaches might be nice.

2) Go to Argostoli

This is the main town on the Island and if you are looking for a bit more to do then I would recommend heading here. There are a lot more restaurants to try and activities to do. If the weather is good, you can hire a boat for a few hours. A cheaper activity is to hire a paddle boat instead. Either way, you can spend some more time in the sea. After this, go for some dinner and drinks before heading back to your hotel.

3) Go to the Melissani Cave

This is activity was a day trip, but totally worth it. The coach took us up the mountain so we got to see some lovely views. We then all queued up (like many others) to go on the boat ride. It was quite a short boat trip, but it was still very beautiful and enjoyable. You can book online by googling the name of the cave.

4) Have a drink at Gradakia beach bar

We actually stumbled across this beach bar, but it was very good vibes. You could either sit on the beach or at the bar, which over looked the beach. If you want to spend your day lounging around and drinking alcohol or some tasty mocktails, then this is a great place. There is also a DJ so if you want to dance in the sea like I did, then it is a great place to do just that.

5) Try some water-sports

Some of the larger beaches have some water-sports activities that are a must try. You don’t need to do them all (unless you want to), but 1 or 2 might be fun to experience. After you do this, you can just stay chilling at the beach. If this is something you want to do, I would recommend googling which beaches on the island offer this as not all of them have activities available.

So there you have it. Kefalonia is a very small Island, but it is the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing trip with friends or your partner. For more tips and recommendations, head to my instagram https://www.instagram.com/travelarchivez/
