Getting from Cephalonia airport to the city center

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.

Notes:

  • Prices in EUR; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Public bus service is seasonal and limited; confirm schedules before travel.
  • Taxis are available at the airport but pre-booking is advisable during peak season.
  • Rental cars are highly recommended for exploring Cephalonia's beaches and villages.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.

When is the best time to visit Cephalonia

  • Events: Traditional Carnival celebrations (February-March) in Argostoli and Lixouri feature parades, plus authentic Easter preparations in mountain villages.
Shoulder season
April - June, September - October
  • Prices: Moderate rates—flights drop 30-40% versus peak summer; book late September or early May for best value without sacrificing weather.
  • Weather: Ideal conditions, 16–28 °C with 3–6 rainy days monthly; warm enough for swimming in May-June and September, pleasant hiking temperatures.
  • Events: Lithostroto Festival (May) in Argostoli showcases local arts, Saristra Festival (late August-September) celebrates traditional music, plus authentic olive harvest festivities (October-November) in villages.
