Hello
I am trying to book a holiday for late Aug/early Sept… of course things are getting booked up but after considering a few different places I am now strongly considering Kefalonia.

Would love people experiences of the following areas to help with decision making please! These are the areas where there seem to be viable accommodation available:

Svoronata
Lassi
Scala
Katelios
Lixouri

We will self cater so we like to be able to walk to a few tavernas. We have a DD so we prefer a nice safe child-friendly beach, ideally walking distance. We like to do boat trips, see a bit of culture (but not everyday!), mooch about, have beach days, pool days - we are pretty low key.

We aren’t looking for clubs, partying, English breakfasts or Irish bars.

If anyone has any other reccomendations for things to do/places to visit on the island I’d love to hear them, we will probably hire a car for at least a few days.

Thanks in advance!

We’ve been to Lassi twice. We love it there. The beach is lovely and sandy and the strip isn’t too touristy but plenty of shops and restaurants. Plus easy bus ride/taxi ride to Agostoli.

We stayed in lassi which I found a bit underwhelming. We travelled into argostoli every evening, which was fantastic. The beach at lassi in sand and gorgeous. Skala beach was a bit more shingle. If I were to go again I’d go north to Fiskado. Kefalonia is beautiful 😻
