Kefalonia Anna Pollatou Airport (EFL) is the primary international gateway to the largest of the Ionian Islands, welcoming a high volume of direct flights from the UK, Italy, and across Europe. Situated just 8 kilometers from the capital, Argostoli, it provides a crucial starting point for journeys to the island's world-famous beaches, like Myrtos, and its charming port villages. The airport is at its busiest throughout the summer, and its recently modernized terminal offers a comfortable and efficient welcome to visitors exploring this stunning island.
