Compare Kefalonia Airport car hire

You will also find Kefalonia car hire agencies in Sami, while Karavomylos Rent a Car agency will arrange delivery to other island locations, for a fee.

The best way to hunt down the cheapest car hire in Kefalonia is to pre-book online before you depart. This will also save you time at the airport and allow you to hit the road straight away.

With Kefalonia’s attractions scattered across the four corners of the island, a car is a pretty much a must if you want to see them all. Among the most scenic drives is the road from the capital Argostoli up to the scenic harbour town of Fiskardo further north.

Stunning coastline panoramas, pine-carpeted hills and the romantic Venetian castle ruins of Assos can prove distracting to drivers, so be sure to pull over every now and then so you can properly appreciate the scenery around you.

You may also want to make a pit stop at Myrtos Beach, a strip of blinding sugar-white pebbles backed by limestone cliffs. Once you catch sight of it from the coast road above, it’s almost impossible not to stop! Just remember that the roads on this route can be narrow, dusty, steep and cliff-edged, and occasionally, a goat, sheep or even a stray cat may wander across your path, so take it nice and steady.

1. Kefalonia’s road system is fairly uncomplicated and well signposted (both in English and in Greek), so in theory it should be easy to navigate. Unfortunately, however, signs are occasionally obscured by overgrown bushes or are otherwise difficult to spot, so it could be worth paying extra for a satnav.
   
   
2. Before leaving Kefalonia by car ferry, don’t forget to confirm that your car hire insurance extends to other islands.
   
   
3. Many of Kefalonia’s roads, particularly in the centre and north of the island, are steep and so can prove extra slippery on those rare, rainy days. Exercise special caution in wet weather.
