CYCLING It’s great fun freewheeling down the mountains, the wind in your hair, the scent of pine trees fresh in the air… but Kefalonia is very mountainous and it can be hard, hot work going up the hills and frequent stops for liquid refreshment are essential.

Due to the mountains, the heat and the comparatively large size of Kefalonia (for a Greek island), demand for and supply of bikes for hire is very limited, however, there are bike shops in Argostoli, Lixouri, Poros and Sami. If you're a really keen cyclist the best bet *may* be to bring your bike with you.
