The Best Hotels in Kefalonia are mostly located on or around the capital town of Argostoli or at the super cute Fiscardo fish village, Skala town, or Lassi. Kefalonia is one of the biggest and greenest Greek islands, and you need a car to move around. It is the island that my grandparents were from (in the small village called Pesada, most of the locals have my surname!), and I have visited the island quite a of times.
