Getting from Cephalonia airport to the city center

Fastest options: taxi or rental car. Budget travelers often choose the local bus service.

Cephalonia, the largest of the Ionian Islands in Greece, is served by Cephalonia International Airport (EFL), also known as Anna Pollatou Airport. Located approximately 9 km south of Argostoli, the island's capital, the airport offers several airport transfers to city center options. Due to the island's geography and limited public transport infrastructure, taxis, rental cars, and seasonal bus services are the primary means of reaching Argostoli and other destinations. Journey times are generally short but can vary depending on your final destination across the island.
