Kefalonia airport is located very close to the capital of Kefalonia in Svoronata. If you need to explore the island, the best option is car hire since there is no public transport available. Alternatively, you can get a taxi from just outside the terminal to drive you around. There are several hotels around the airport that offer their visitors free transport to the airport so you may be lucky if you stay in one of them. Every few hours, private minibuses that keep to the flight schedules are available for airport transfer. However, a nice car hire will be adequate to help you finish your errands at your own time.
If you want to fly to Athens, you will take a Olympic Air flight that takes just 45minutes from Kefalonia airport. There are many car rental agencies at Kefalonia airport that are easily accessible. Moreover, there are specific agencies such as Greeka.com that negotiate to keep car hire rates affordable. If you contact them, they will help you to get the best available prices in the area. If you have previously used a car hire in another Greek destination, then you are also likely to find it here at Kefalonia airport.
The location of the Kefalonia airport in Minies area is a useful pivot for sight seeing in the capital and return back at the end of the tour. Once you get a car hire, you can drive the few kilometers to sight see in the capital, Argostoli. The airport has been serving domestic flights since its inception but occasionally receives other flights. It is a modern airport with all the required aviation systems for perfect airport operation. There are more passengers and goods passing through the airport with different kinds of planes landing there.
Car hire is definitely the most convenient means to explore and move about in the island. If you get a nice car hire service, they will offer you the car wherever you want it delivered be it the hotel, airport or anywhere else. The other means of transport available are not nearly as comfortable all the same. Having arranged transport means you can relax knowing that you will not be stranded anywhere as you go about your business.
While you are waiting for your car hire to arrive, look out for the wonders of Greece and do not forget the duty free shop. Get your statue of the goddess in the curio shops. At your request, the car rental service will provide a map and other information to help you get the best of the island. You can also request for the car rental to pick up the hired car once you have finished your business.
