By Taxi
Taxis are available at both Sami and Poros ports upon ferry arrival. Due to the island's large size and mountainous terrain, pre-booking a transfer is the most popular choice for a comfortable journey.
A transfer with Aegean Taxi provides a professional driver who knows the winding roads, ensuring a safe and direct ride to your destination, whether it's Argostoli, Fiscardo, or a remote villa.
By Bus
The public bus (KTEL) connects both Sami and Poros ports to the island's central bus station in Argostoli. This is the most economical way to travel from the port.
From the Argostoli station, you can find connecting services to most other towns and resorts. Be sure to check the schedule in advance as services can be infrequent.
You can find the latest timetables on the official KTEL Kefalonia website: ktelkefalonias.gr
By Car
Renting a car is the best way to have the freedom to explore Kefalonia's vast and diverse landscapes. You will find car rental offices located at both Sami and Poros ports.
Having a car is almost essential to reach the island's most famous sights, like Myrtos Beach and the village of Assos.
Due to high demand, it is crucial to book your vehicle far in advance, especially for the summer months.
By Local Ferry (Argostoli-Lixouri)
A highly recommended local transport option is the car ferry that runs between the capital, Argostoli, and the town of Lixouri on the opposite side of the bay.
This frequent, 20-minute journey is very scenic and saves you from a much longer drive around the gulf.
Tickets are purchased at the port before boarding, and the ferry is a vital link for both locals and tourists.
