Gorgeous video, Greece never disappoints it really is a beautiful country. No wonder us brits flock there. Enjoy your travels ladies, keep the great videos coming xx
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 😁
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!
@@paulmuaddib3470 Fantastic, Paul. 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) Enjoy!
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 😍😍
@@antap ok and yes I love Foki , a sweet little place on the corner if I remember, going down to Fiskardo past the houses with lots of wall hanging beautiful flowers 🤔
Right?! I wish we could have stayed longer. I guess we’ll have to go back at some point 😜 the next island we are going to in a few days we are only staying 4 days 😭 but I’ll take that over not going 🥰
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 .
Wow! Wilson's Promontory does look a lot like the beaches in kefalonia and zakintho. Australia has so many beautiful places! We can't wait to go explore them 😍
Thanks for the info! It’ll be our first time visiting Kephalonia! We’ve been to Crete and Zante, so we’re looking forward to another Greek island experience 🥰
You're going to love it! Especially if you enjoyed Zante. They are very similar but I think the variety of beautiful beaches in Kefalonia is better 😍 Let us know what you think when you visit.
Very true! A very crowded beach can ruin the whole experience :( we always try to go to the islands end of May and June, to avoid that situation but then you run into rain if you go that early in the season
Hi 😊 yes, It was awesome! Amazing price as well. They are villas that are part of a hotel complex but 2 of the villas are owned by the company that build them so you can rent them by going on the villas individual website. www.hyasvillakefalonia.com/
We were there in late May. You might be taking some risk going in October. If you’re interested in swimming it might not be ideal. I believe September is the end of the season, most of beach cafe/bars and a lot of restaurants will be closed. If you aim for mid September you should be good, or May 😊 thank you for watching 🙏❤️
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.
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.
