By Car & Boat

If you choose to visit Kefalonia with your car, you have two choices.

You can drive from Athens to Kyllini, trip lasts about 3 and a half hours or Astakos in Aitoloakarnania. Kyllini and Astakos can be accessed via the Athens-Patras National Highway, if you are travelling from Peloponnese, Athens or east-central Greece.

If you are driving from northern Greece you need to take Egnatia Odos towards Igoumenitsa and then drive southwards.  If you are driving through the Athens-Patras highway and you want to take the ferry from Astakos, you need to pass the bridge of Rio-Antirio and continue through Mesologgi towards Astakos.

Once you reach Kyllini or Astakos you take the ferry to Kefalonia.
