Cheap flights to Kefalonia

Kefalonia offers something very different to other Greek islands. Its scenery encompasses lush, green fir-capped mountains alongside the golden beaches and rocky coves that you’d expect. And tucked away inside this gorgeous landscape are old castles, monasteries, forts and beguiling old towns to explore.

When to book cheap flights to Kefalonia

The peak season in Kefalonia runs from May to late October. During this time cheaper flights are harder to find – although booking a visit in May, September or October could help you unearth some bargains.

Outside of peak season the weather still promises you the sun you seek, except during the period between December and February when temperatures do drop significantly.

November, March and April are generally pleasant, although the weather can be more unpredictable and the air can feel chilly at night.

You can find great deals on your flight tickets outside of the peak season – and you’ll definitely have a quieter, more relaxing break.

How to find the best flight deals to Kefalonia

Booking ahead of you planned departure always increases your chances of bagging a bargain – as does the season you are looking to book flights to Kefalonia in.

However, at any time of the year there are ways you can find cheaper flights. Using Expedia you can select ‘Show flexible dates’ when you search for flights. This will quickly reveal if booking your flights on a different day will offer significant savings.

Main airports in Kefalonia

Kefalonia Airport is located on the southwest part of the island, just five miles from the capital of Argostoli. There is a limited bus service from the airport to the city but most people opt for a taxi or arrange car hire.

If you are travelling straight on to a resort arranging a shuttle through your hotel is your best bet if you are not hiring a car to explore the island during your stay.

Which airlines fly to Kefalonia?

The carriers offering cheap flights to Kefalonia include:

  • Ryanair
  • Aegean
  • Smart Wings
  • easyJet
  • Jet2

How to get around in Kefalonia

Car hire is definitely an attractive option – and Kefalonia’s roads are easy to navigate. It is possible to get to almost any point on Kefalonia, even remote beaches, villages, and monasteries, by the KTEL bus service but its schedules are restrictive and it makes journeying around the island time-consuming. For shorter journeys taxis are widely available on the island.

What are the must-sees in Kefalonia?

There are many reasons to visit the capital of Argostoli but one lesser-known one is to see wild loggerhead turtles. Drop by Argostoli Bay in the morning and these turtles patrol the waters waiting for fishermen to discard unsold scraps.

You can take a gondola ride over the stunning underground Melissani Lake. Glide over its electric-blue waters as you take in this undiscovered gem.

Just a 40-minute drive from the capital the Drogarati Caves offer another underground world to explore. Make your way down the stone steps and you’ll arrive in a chilly, floodlit cavern filled with twisting stalagmites and stalactites formed over thousands of years.

And you thought this was going to be a beach holiday!

How to survive the flight to Kefalonia?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Kefalonia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kefalonia?
Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Kefalonia easy and painless. We’ve rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
