Kefalonia Istland International Airport guide

Kefalonia Istland International Airport Terminals and Arrivals

Arrivals at Kefalonia Istland International Airport are simple to follow, because the airport is small by international standards. Once you collect your luggage, the arrivals area is where taxis, transfer drivers and car hire staff are typically found. Signs are in Greek and English.

Services are busiest in the warmer months, when most flights operate, so the arrivals area can feel crowded at peak times. Allow a little extra time to find your taxi or transfer driver after collecting your bags, particularly if several flights land close together.

How to Get from Kefalonia Istland International Airport to Kefalonia

The most direct ways to get from Kefalonia Istland International Airport to Kefalonia are a taxi, a private transfer, a hire car or a local bus. Each option suits a different budget and schedule, so compare them before you travel.

  • Taxi: Taxis wait outside the arrivals area. Agree the fare with the driver before you set off, and confirm your destination clearly.
  • Private transfer: A pre-arranged car and driver takes you directly to your accommodation, without waiting for other passengers.
  • Hire car: Car hire desks are usually found at the airport. Roads on the island can be winding in places, so allow extra time, especially after dark.
  • Local bus: Buses connect the airport with towns on the island. Timetables change with the season, so check the latest times locally before relying on one.

Journey times depend on your destination and on traffic, particularly in summer. Your exact fare is shown before you book any transfer.

Arriving in Kefalonia: What to Know

Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian islands, and its capital, Argostoli, is the usual base for visitors arriving by air. The island has no railway, so road transport is the main way to move between towns and beaches. Ferries from ports such as Sami and Poros link Kefalonia with Ithaca and the Peloponnese mainland.

Many roads are narrow and hilly, and parking can be limited in popular villages during summer. If you plan to explore by car after arriving, ask your transfer driver or accommodation host about local routes. Pack for warm weather and sun, as the island is hot in summer.
