Driving directions from the airport to Agia Efimia and to our office Kefalonia Travel
The airport of Kefalonia is situated south of Argostoli (Capital), between Lassi and Minies on the map shown below. When leaving
the airport you will come to a T-junction at which you turn left towards Argostoli. When arriving over the hill into Argostoli proceed towards the south west (towards Kastro). You will have to go around the bay of Argostoli, since the bridge has been closed for vehicles. When exiting Argostoli towards Kastro you will have to turn left at the first traffic lights. When arriving at the other side of Argostoli Bay you can choose from two
directions after these traffic lights.
1) You can either take the road (turn right) after this traffic light towards the east to Sami. When entering Sami you will have to turn left and then proceed north-west along the coast to Agia Efimia.
2) You can also go
north (straight) after this traffic light towards Assos on the map and then proceed to the east (straight) at Myrtos Bay to reach Agia Efimia. Myrtos Bay is the bay south of Assos village on the map.
Both routes to Agia Efimia are approximately the same distance from Argostoli (32 km).
Our office (Kefalonia Travel) is situated on the seafront (above the beach) of Agia Efimia right next to a little church and a cafeteria. From here we will assist you with your luggage and we will check you in personally.
