Kefalonia marinas
Kefalonia is a major Ionian hub: the sheltered Gulf of Argostoli, easy day hops toward Ithaca/Lefkada, micro-tidal waters with a reliable summer maistral, an exposed west coast, and a string of practical ports on the east and north coasts.
About Kefalonia
The island runs NW–SE and naturally suits short day sails between close harbours.
Inside the Gulf of Argostoli, town-front berths in Argostoli and Lixouri offer calm water and easy logistics for provisioning and lay-ups.
Along the east coast, Sami and Agia Efimia handle transit and charter traffic and make handy springboards to Ithaca and north toward Lefkada/Meganisi.
To the north, Fiskardo is a postcard-perfect but compact stop—berths are limited and most boats go stern-to on their own anchors. Poros on the SE is a ferry harbour with yacht space and a useful waypoint when running the coast. The west coast is high and exposed: anchorages are scenic but all-weather refuges are few.
Tides are small; wind and pressure drive sea level and chop. Summer brings a dependable maistral, with gusts and occasional night katabatics in narrow coves.
