A new blog post with direct flights to Kefalonia in 2023 has been published
The easiest and quickest way how to get to Kefalonia is by plane. There are a handful of airlines flying to Argostoli Airport (EFL) in the summer of 2022. The first direct flights of the year start as early as April. The peak season is without a doubt July and August though. That's also when flights are most frequent to this Greek dream holiday destination. In this post, we compiled a list of all the currently announced connections from European airports. As the season progresses, usually more flights are added to the mix whereas others might get canceled. We will try to keep this list up-to-date as much as possible, but feel free to drop us a comment below if there are any updates that we haven't covered yet.
Flights from the UK to Kefalonia
Not everybody is lucky enough to have an airport close by that is offering a direct flight to Kefalonia. If you live in the UK, your chance is pretty good though that you won't have to drive far to catch a plane to this beach paradise island. By far most of the direct flights to Kefalonia are departing in the UK. It's a bit of a chicken and egg story with the British conquering the Kefalonian island. Who was there first, the flights or British sun-seekers? Jet2 and TUI are most frequently flying from the UK to Kefalonia. From London, you will find flights every day during peak season with as many as two flights heading over there daily.
