More than the waters, Kefalonia also has a picturesque view of its town. It is the site of Mount Ainos, a very tall mountain where the National Park can be found.
The other sights to appreciate in this Greek island are the Drogarati Cave and the Melissani. There are bunch of monasteries and museums that are worth visiting around here too.
Here are just some of the villages that you should at least visit, if not staying there:- Agia Efimia, Assos, Fiskardo, Lixouri, Peratata, Poros, Sami, Skala and not forgetting Kourkoumelata, one of the prettiest villages on the island, just some 6 miles from the capital.

For those not arriving on a package tour, and thus having a coach transfer to their hotel, the only way to get to your resort is by taxi, or by hiring a car.
With some resorts over 30 miles away, although some hotels arrange a pickup service, hiring yourself a vehicle of some sort, may prove the best way to get to your room, and also to explore the island.
