Why Visit Kefalonia in Spring?

While most travellers wait for July and August, those in the know arrive earlier. Here’s why:

• Pleasant temperatures: expect 18-23°C in the daytime - warm enough for t-shirts and alfresco meals, but not too hot for exploring
• No crowds: beaches are quiet, roads are empty, and the island feels wonderfully yours
• Lower prices: villa rentals and flights are much more affordable than peak season
• Nature in bloom: the hills turn green, wildflowers appear everywhere, and the sea starts to sparkle again
And, perhaps best of all, there’s a calmness to the island in spring that makes you feel like you’ve found a secret.

The Spring Villa Experience

If you’re planning a spring holiday, a private villa is the perfect choice. You’ll enjoy space, comfort, privacy - and views to remember. Whether you’re travelling as a couple or with family, having your own kitchen, garden, and pool makes every day feel like home… only better.
But here’s a spring-specific tip:
As local villa specialists in Kefalonia, we always recommend checking if the villa has a heated pool during the early season. April and May are warm, but the evenings can be fresh - and having a heated pool can turn a good holiday into a great one.
