Airport Transportation in Kefalonia

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Kefalonia International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Kefalonia runs from Kefalonia International Airport to hotels and villas in Argostoli and Lassi, in Skala and Lourdas in the south, in Sami and Poros on the east coast, and to the ports for ferries to Ithaca.

Kefalonia Airport Transfers

Our Kefalonia airport transfers start in the arrivals area of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a sign showing your name. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, even on summer weekends when several charter flights land together.

Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Kefalonia airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa, or to the ferry port at Sami or Poros. Taking a ferry on to Ithaca? We drive you to the port; give us your sailing time when you book. Staying in the far north around Fiskardo or Assos? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Kefalonia Airport Shuttle

Our Kefalonia airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your hotel or villa, with no stops at other resorts on the island's winding roads. There is room for suitcases, strollers and beach gear, so it suits families and groups of friends sharing a villa.

Landing at Kefalonia Airport

Kefalonia International Airport (EFL), named after Anna Pollatou, is in the southwest of the island, near the capital, Argostoli. All flights use a single terminal, rebuilt by Fraport Greece with new check-in desks, security lanes and baggage carousels. There are no jet bridges, so you walk or take a bus from the plane.

Flights from Athens and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. Passengers from outside the Schengen area, as many summer visitors from the UK are, queue at passport control. On summer weekends, when several charter flights land together, the small terminal gets busy. Once you have your bags, pre-booked drivers meet passengers in the arrivals area.

Greece is on Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and switches to UTC+3 for daylight saving time from late March to late October.

Entry requirements and local notes

Schengen entry. Greece is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Large, mountainous island. Kefalonia's roads are winding, and Fiskardo and Assos in the north are a long ride from the airport, so plan your arrival day with that in mind.

Ferry connections. Ferries leave from Sami and Poros, including boats to Ithaca. Give us your sailing time when you book, so your drop-off fits it.

Euro and cash. Greece uses the euro; carry some cash for small purchases.
