Agia Efimia & Sami - Transfer time 1 hour
Friendly Agia Efimia has, over the years, developed from a sleepy backwater into the colourful little port it is today. It has, however, lost none of its welcoming village feel, and enjoys an authentically Greek atmosphere. It is at the northern end of Sami Bay, and looks across to Ithaca.
To either side of the village are a number of dazzlingly white pebble coves and beaches which shelve into the clearest of water, making for fine swimming and snorkelling.
Holidays In North East Kefalonia
The village has plenty of other restaurants and several café-bars lining the long quayside. There is often a flotilla in, adding to the convivial evening atmosphere. Small shops, mini-markets and the village bakery provide most things you should need. Motorboats can be hired (see panel) and there is a diving school. Organised trips include the islands of Lefkas and Ithaca by boat and an island tour by coach.
Between Agia Efimia and Sami, some 6 kms to the south, is a further string of pristine beaches. Sami is larger and the port from which ferries will take you to Itaca in as little as 20 minutes. Near Sami are the caves of Melissani and Drogarati, one of which is famed for its stalagtites, the other for an underground lake (fun to be rowed across by a local boatman).
Agia Efimia and Sami are good bases from which to explore the whole of the north. Reasonable road links mean that Argostoli can be reached in under an hour, and the north-west coast in 20-25 minutes.
