Kefalonia is the largest of the Greek islands in the Ionian Sea and, for this reason, the places worth visiting are as far apart as 50 km, as are the beautiful beaches that should not be missed. This makes it almost necessary to think about organizing even the internal movements of the island, renting a car before departure. In this way you will have the peace of mind to visit the island in total freedom, from north to south, on the coast and inland.
Car rental in Kefalonia is, therefore, widespread and almost indispensable for tourists who reach the island by sea or by plane. The island, however, is also served by the Ktel bus line departing from the city of Argostoli and from there also by a cab service. Depending on the type of trip you want to enjoy, you can choose the comfort of a car that, booked online and before departure, will be waiting for you on arrival ready to take you anywhere on the island!
