Car Rental Mini Guide to Kefalonia Airport
Prior to the release of the film of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Kefalonia was a sleepy island relying on the annual harvest of olives. After 2001, the island’s popularity exploded and now today, many tourists hire a car to find the locations in the film. Adding to the chaos is that no buses operate from the airport so unless you have a transfer booked or have prebooked car hire, your only hope is one of the airport taxis whose rates reflect their near monopoly. Again, because it is so busy you should pre-book your rental car and you are advised to send the named driver through to queue at the car rental desks whilst you sort out the luggage otherwise you could be queuing for quite a while.
Other highlights are the beautiful beaches, the pretty capital,
Argostoli and the fishing port of Fiscardo.
