The Kefalonia City Guides deal with the questions this big, mountainous island raises: which harbour to eat in, how to see Melissani and Myrtos before the coaches arrive, which beaches suit small children and where the evening goes after dinner in Argostoli. Every guide is a short list with a clear point of view, giving the reason to go, what to order or bring and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Estiatorio Platanos
Assos village square
A family taverna under the plane tree on the square of Assos, with no sea view and no need for one: local pork and a moussaka that brings regulars back every night of their holiday. Far better value than the harbour tables. From the food guide.
Saint Theodore Lighthouse
Fanari, north of Argostoli on the coast road
A round lighthouse ringed by Doric columns, first built under British rule and rebuilt after the 1953 earthquake, looking across the water to the Paliki peninsula. Free, and the place Argostoli goes to watch the sun set. From the things to do guide.
Paralia Petani
Paliki peninsula, west coast
The cliffs and turquoise water of Myrtos, but with finer pebbles, sunbeds, two tavernas and fewer coaches. Many locals prefer it, and the sunset is the finest on the island. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Plan your days on Kefalonia
Day one: start in Argostoli with the turtles at the De Bosset Bridge and kreatopita for lunch from the food guide, walk out to the Saint Theodore Lighthouse for sunset and end the evening on Vallianou Square. Day two: head north with the day trips guide, reach Melissani Cave early, swim at Myrtos or Petani and eat fish in Fiskardo or Assos. On a windy or slow day, the family and budget guides send you to Drogarati Cave, the Corgialenios museum, a Robola tasting in the Omala valley and the flat path around Koutavos lagoon.
