6Kefalonia

Famous for its dramatic landscapes and turquoise waters, Kefalonia offers great value for travelers. While the island has gained some fame thanks to films like Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, it’s still one of the more affordable Ionian islands.

Beaches like Myrtos and Antisamos are postcard-perfect and free to access, while budget-friendly accommodations are widely available, especially outside of peak season. Kefalonia’s wineries and charming villages, like Assos and Fiskardo, provide enriching experiences without heavy expenses.
