Thank you for watching 🙂🙌🏻
heaven on earth, perfect climate, clean water, islands.... what i would give to be born there
going there in May and this video is so helpful to plan the trip. It looks great. Thank you.
Great vid guys. I'm going there next month, thanx for all the info. 👍
Your welcome, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching :)
These are great suggestions for our first trip to kefalonia next month 👌
I hope you enjoy kefalonia as much as we did 🙂👍🏻
Thank you so much from Holland! Going there in June, I love Greece❤
I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time 😎🙌🏻
Great video I was there 4 years ago and it's still my favourite holiday ever . The island is stunning, and the culture is amazing and I'm definitely going to go back.
Hello i want to visit this summer. Do u suggest me public transport or to rent a car. Thank u in advance
The best place to stay in Kefalonia is Niko's studias near Lassi beach! Amasing place, I reccomend strongly!
Thank you for your recommendation 🙂🙏🏻
Going in July to Scala. I wish you had recommended some places to eat though as we are b and b so will be eating out at night. We were going to try the private day tour which seems to fit in lots of the places. You didnt mention the Drogarati caves, they are supposed to be amazing too. Also weve been told there are ysually queues of up to 2 hours waiting to see the lake in Peak season so make sure to leave enough time, especially if you have to return to a cruise ship!
Awesome video!! Thank you for the useful info. What month did you travel to Kefalonia?
Thank you for watching 🙂 we traveled to Kefalonia in July 😎 ☀️
Thank you so much for the video! It came just in time. I was not sure where to go in mid september corfu or kefalonia. You made my choice easy and I am looking forward to the trip! Did you stay in one place and travel around or several different apartements?
Out of the Two islands, Kefalonia is my favourite. September is a good month to visit Kefalonia. The weather is still good but the island is more quite. We stayed in one place but we had a car. You will 100% need transport while your out there. Public transport & Taxis are pretty much non existent 😆
Great video - very informative - looking to book can you recommend a good hotel - Priority - Must be clean?
Many thanks in advance

Amazing video. How did you go about booking the wine tasting and boat trip?
Thank you, hope it was helpful 😊
We didn’t pre book the wine tasting, we just turned up on the day. The boat trip we booked online before we went to ensure a spot on the trip as it’s a popular one 😊👍🏻
@@UA-cam-Seany_Boyy_ it was very helpful. I went to the boat tour website and sent an inquiry. They responded asking for our passport numbers, did you have to provide that info as well? Just trying to stay safe.
@@TheClovtar yeah we had to do that too 🙂👍🏻
Great video. Is it possible to explore it without a car? At least the highlights? 🙏
It is but you would be heavily relying on taxis which are pretty scarce on the island. I personally strongly recommend hiring your own transport. You’ll save money & have the freedom to travel around as & when you like 🙂👍🏻
@@UA-cam-Seany_Boyy_ I would, if I knew how to drive 🤦 Thanks for your tips, anyway 🙏
@@mashabg81 can you ride a moped? I don’t think you need a licence for that? 🤔
If not you’ll have to find yourself a decent taxi driver
One more tip. A hike to its biggest mountain is a must as it hosts one the two rarest forest's in Greece with Abies Cephalonnica trees (spruces) which is indigenous to the area. It also is the home of a indigenous breed of horses and to a wild goats race like the Cretan Kri-Kri's.
Wow amazing! Thank you for sharing your recommendations 😎🙌🏻
What is this mountain called? How can I find the route for this hike?
@@micha7941it's called Mount Ainos or Mount Aenos. Go there you'll not regret. Kefalonia is one of the most underrated islands in Greece and my favorite.
@@micha7941 I think they get around a monastery near the mountain because the monks let them drink water. Not 100% sure about it though. Better find a local guide in Argostoli ( there are many) and ask them to go them and also tour you to the mountain. It's we'll spend money a tour with them as they know all the trails unknown to many and surely you will left astounded by the views.
The temperature of the sea is so low because rain water flows from the mountains to the sea at the rate of at least 2.000.000 tons of water per year.
Good Video!!! Thank you ❤ When were you there? Which Month? And What time? First? Middle? End of the month??? May? July? January? October? September??? 💙🏛 🇬🇷
Thank you. We were in Kefalonia at the end of July 😎☀️👌🏻
What month were they there. I liked this video. It was clear and had good tips
Thank you, I’m glad you liked the video. This was all filmed in the month of July 🙂👍🏻
Greetings from Russia, Saint Petersburg! We have been there in 2019!!! Its the paradise on Earth❤❤❤
Wow Saint Petersburg is a place I really want to visit! Soon 🙏🏻
Yes Kefalonia is paradise! My favourite Greek island I’ve visited so far 😎☀️🙌🏻
@@UA-cam-Seany_Boyy_ You are very welcome to Piter( as we name the city)) And Spring is the best time, now nearly no night at all! And the weather is fine, today is abt 20, sun and warm) And abt Kefalonia, now it's difficult to get there FM Russia, but I hope once I will be back))) The Petani beach is in my night dreams always))
@@going_to_the_river_Neva thank you! One day soon I hope I will come! And make a video about Saint Petersburg 😎🙌🏻 🇷🇺
I hope you can travel again soon, don’t worry though. Kefalonia isn’t going anywhere 😊
@@UA-cam-Seany_Boyy_ You are welcome! And don't forget to go for a walk at here, it's time for opening bridges, unforgettable❤
Those beaches are so much better than the muddy sand beaches of Greece . This island is so lush like a tropical island . Thank you for this video .
Which boat tour/ company did you go on?
Seany Boyy , you forgot one beautiful , small , cozy , and colourful port , named " Fiskardo " at North kefallonia , full of sailboats !!!! It was not necessary you mention the " Navagio " which belongs to Zakynthos !!!
Hey there! Greek from Canada looking to plan a Kefalonia trip for 2024. Can you let me know which company you used to rent your car? And which car worked best for you? Planning on doing your entire itinerary honestly, made it quite easy for me :)
Hello, I actually had my own car with me as I drove from the UK. I done abit of a European trip that summer. However my brother rented a car in kefalonia and used travelsupermarket.com
I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy kefalonia as much as we did! It’s a beautiful island
When you have visit seany this wonder full Island? I am greek and I am occasionaly to kefalonia for 2 years!
I visited Kefalonia in June of 2022! I can’t wait to go back ☀️😎🙌🏻
Was there a few weeks ago on NCL cruise ship. Would want to explore Argostoli further but cruise ship times would not allow. We did go to Sami which was pleasant. We r from US Virginia.
Scooter or car? Maybe a list with some hidden gem beaches… not very crowded
Scooter if your a confident rider 😎 🛵
A car!
2 earthquakes in a week is crazy! I have spent over 50 weeks there and have only experienced one, which was so little I didn’t know it was one until I was told after!
Oh wow, maybe we just got unlucky then. The host of our accommodation didn’t notice the earthquakes either. Probably because she’s just used to them, but we definitely noticed. Was like the shaking bed scene from The Exorcist 😆
@@UA-cam-Seany_Boyy_ in fact if it doesn't shake for awhile the locals are getting more and more worried as time goes by. They welcome the frequent small earthquakes as it's energy being unleashed preventing the build up of huge amounts of energy that could result to giant earthquakes.
Not at all. It's the opposite for the locals. My mom is from Kephallonia and she says as long as it shakes regural then everything is fine.
Wondering how many people check out this island after playing AC odyssey
Haha I was one of them 😂
What cost generally are the sun beds and umbrellas on the beaches? Thanks
Most beaches it was free, but at the ones that you did have to pay we found it to be around €10 for the day 😊👍🏻
Can i use this video on my website,please?I am a rent a car business owner in Kefalonia and i find this video ideal for people who want to visit and wish to get recomendations about the island.
Needless to mention the excellent work you did on this vlog and the complimentary words you say about my hometown,Kefalonia!! I really appreciate it.
Of course that would be fantastic because people send me messages all the time about renting cars in kefalonia.
If you give me your web address I’ll link it in the video details 🙂👍🏻
Apparently there are no longer motorbikes available to hire near the airport. Cars only. I found out the hard way after walking just over 1km in 35 degree heat to be told the sign i followed is old and i will need to travel much further for a motorbike
Do you think 4 days might be enough to have these excursions and to see one of this beaches?!
Are you talking about the boat excursion that visits the 3 beaches around Kefalonia?
@@UA-cam-Seany_Boyy_ yes, I’m thinking to take 4,5 days on that island, do you think would be enough?!
@@m.o.6303 Yeah, obviously the longer you can spend there the more you’ll be able to do. If you can only do 4 days just prioritise the things you want to do as you wont be able to do everything in 4 days
@@UA-cam-Seany_Boyy_ thanks for your reply 🤍🤍
@@m.o.6303 your welcome, have fun in Kefalonia 😎🙌🏻
Hi, how much is the trip to Zakintos?
Going off memory i think our day trip cost around €60 per person. This didn’t include food or drinks
@@UA-cam-Seany_Boyy_ Okay, thank you for info😊 Btw great video😊
@@lunaphoenix2025 thank you, hope it was helpful :)
How is it to live here
6:38 BIT CHEEKY 😉
The author has never been there, that’s obvious. That said, Kefonlia is a gem, unspoilt and original. Please don’t change it. Bars and night life are NOT required for a great experience of true culture, if that’s what you need, then go elsewhere.
Thank you for showing us around.
White rocks in June.
Can't wait. Xx
I promise, to just visit and stay quiet and not leave any trash or plastic ❤️❤️
Not sure why you say he has never been there when he is quite clearly filming there? Or have I missed something?
Are you high?
Sorry, but Navagio beach is not on Kefalonia, its Zakintos!
Correct
He did say it wasent in Kefalonia but zante
Next time you visit our island and you want to meet real Greece join us :-)
Promo-SM 🌷
Seriously don’t think this guy has been to the same Kefakonia ? 😂😂😂
Taxis are available at nights !! And there are car hire places and quad bike hire everywhere !!!! Also the taxis aren’t very expensive at all !!!
I am Greek....nice video....but you didnt visit the best place in Kefallonia........the FISKARDO......
