    The views on the way to Petali beach were absolutely amazing. The beach also looked beautiful with the smaller stones.
    The devastating earthquake of 1953 was both a disaster, but also an opportunity to develop the island to the touristic destination it is today.
    Argostoli looks really nice to walk around in.
    Tubing seems to be lots of fun.
    I'm not a person who is able to spend a whole day at a beach. I need to also be able to walk around and explore.
    Clever idea to give water to your dog when you forget to take a bowl with you.

      Yes, you’re very right! Kefalonia is actually from the very few places in Greece that has wide rural roads. Since the old roads got destroyed they got to replan and rebuild the roads for cars.

      Thank you Alex! Greece has sooo many beautiful islands. I always recommend skipping Santorini and Mykonos, they are so packed with tourists that it takes away from the experience. Not to mention the extreme prices. Definitely go to Kefalonia though 😁

    • @carolinelane9599

      Kefalonia beats those 2 islands down. Both are just tourist traps and hugely over rated to me. Much more sightseeing to do on Kef as well.

    This is very much a subtropical island . I heard the beaches have course white sand which are better than most beaches on Zakinthos .it is a stunning island .Believe it or not , this amazing island reminds me of Wilson’s Promontory in Victoria Australia .

    My brother and his family are in Kefalonia now (we are Australians).
    After staying in Agostoli they will stay in Assos and Fiskardo - where my Father is from (Fiscardo was untouched by the 1953 earthquake).
    Enjoy!

      If you get to Fiskardo, Foki beach is our local - going to the right from town 1 to 2km. (We actually have some waterfront land just past the cave on the right (when looking towards Ithaka from Foki), but it can't be built on; and another parcel up in the hills that can be built on...the dream!)
      (My Dad was a boy there when the Italians and WW2 came to town...many stories)

      The piece of land you guys have is definitely the dream! 😍 Hopefully, one day you guys can build on the part you’re allowed to. The whole time I was in Kefalonia I was thinking “this is where I want to have my summer house one day”. I’m noting down Foki beach. We didn’t get to go to Fiskardo this time around, but we did visit Assos on our last day and it did not disappoint 😍😍

    • @MariaOliviaTravel
      @MariaOliviaTravel  5 місяців тому

      It all depends on the time of year. But given Corfus popularity, even at the peak Kefalonia may be a bit less crowded. We went at the end of May in both Corfu and Kefalonia and I would say it felt about the same crowd wise.

    I go there for 8 days in August. We don’t now if we should rent a car. Is there good public transport and taxi? Or is it beter to rent a car

    • @viniciusalmeida2768
      @viniciusalmeida2768 11 місяців тому

      It's really better to rent a car. No doubt!!!

    • @MariaOliviaTravel
      @MariaOliviaTravel  11 місяців тому

      There is public transportation but it’s not as frequent and reliable. On top of that, if you’ll be there in August, it’s almost guaranteed the heat will torture you and because it’s a humid island, even if you’re waiting for the bus in the shade you’ll be very hot. Taxis are an option but most likely it will come out more expensive than renting a car and it might be a headache having to pre arrange all the rides. If you decide you want to rent a car arrange it ASAP. August is one of the busiest months for the islands and car rentals will go fast.
