    Discover Kefalonia with kids on your next family holiday, whether travelling with toddlers or teenagers, Kefalonia is the perfect family island.

    For me, Greece is all about its islands. I’ve visited Athens and loved Santorini, watching those classic white island houses appear above that sparkling blue sea is at the heart of my favourite memories. A few years back, with friends, we Island hopped around Greece, picking accommodations as we hopped from one Island to another. Years later, we visited Kefalonia. This is where our love affair with Kefalonia and Greece began.

    4. Watersports

    Kefalonia is perfect for all underwater explorers, from experienced divers to holiday snorkelers. Many of the small coves around Kefalonia, are shrouded in woodlands and mountains, making them the most serene beaches. The small coves are known for their underwater wildlife. Life in the coves has thrived and making them very special snorkelling spots. Arm the children with a snorkelling kit and see the joy on their faces when they look at everything in awe.

    Above the village of Peratata on a hill about 300 m high sits Agios Georgios castle, once the island capital, with Byzantine churches in the small village around the Venetian fortress ruins. Not far away, the Monastery of Agios Andreas has beautiful 16th-century frescoes, discovered when the earthquake shook its walls, and now restored as a museum.
