One way to explore the island is by motorbike – but do take care on the
narrower roads, especially if you are likely to meet by a bus ferrying
tourists from the airport to their resort! Car rental can also be cost
effective, consider booking from the locals and keeping the money in the
Greek economy. Good beaches (Viniares and Agio Theodoro are the most popular
ones), tiny lakes, olive and cypress trees, mountain slopes and a fabulous
local wine (Robola) will be the main ingredients of a trip to Kefalonia.
Assos is a small fishing village on the western side and is a pleasant
village to stroll around, as is the port town Fiskardo to the north. From
the bay, you can have some good views of the Ithaca coast.
Flights from and to Athens take around an hour, usually once a day.

Fiskardo is located on the northernmost tip of the island. This delightful,
postcard port stands on a bed of limestone, which buffered it against the
worst effects of the 1953 earthquake. As a result, many of its old stone
buildings are still standing and have been restored. Some have been
converted for use as taverns, restaurants, cafés, bars and boutiques. The
village is set in a horseshoe bay and has an up market reputation. You will
see fleets of caiques and yachts moored on the quay. Especially in August,
Fiscardo attracts many luxury yachts and motorboats: it's a popular port of
call for the rich and famous.
