Have we convinced you to visit Kefalonia yet?! We still have so much more of the island to show you and we can’t wait to get stuck into it over the next two weeks 😁 Don’t forget, you can save money whilst shopping online by downloading Pouch for free here ▸ joinpouch.com/i/highlands
Almost 30 years since I last was in Kefalonia. like all Greek Islands it is stunning and never gets old. Once you have visited Greece you are always going back.
Was there in 2000 when they were filming Captain Corelli's Mandolin the owner of the small apartment block where stayed was an extra in it. When we visited Sami we were politely asked to switch our engine off ,whilst sitting in a traffic queue, so as not to interfere with the filming ! Beautiful island went back in 2002 & long overdue a return visit.
We visited Kefalonia 25 years ago and is still our favourite Greek island of the many we have been to. Enjoy your holiday in the sunshine Looking forward to more lovely picture on your next video.
Been to kefalonia twice over the years and stayed in lassi once then 2nd time in skala.. plus numerous other greek islands we've visited over the years, all the islands are beautiful though 👌👌👌
The taped off bit is a turtle's nest, eggs are laid. Been there 3 times & not been lucky to see a nest hatch! But where you caught the ferry there are a few adult turtle's that live there year round!
Looks amazing - we had hoped to pop over while we were in the Peloponnese, but ran out of time… definitely on the list! So glad you got some sunshine ☀️
Aw you will love it Lorna 😁 haha it is surprisingly easy to ride around on scooter because of how quiet the roads are. Plenty of options for car rentals instead though 😊
New subscriber after seeing some of your brilliant NC500 videos - very close to my heart. Never been to Greece before and was already considering Kefalonia after being baffled by the sheer amount of choice. Your videos have made the decision so easy for us.
Wow, an undiscovered gem indeed! I sure have never heard of such a prime spot! Yes, it looks very tempting :) You two seem to be enjoying this place more than Malta? Love the nifty camera work. How awesome about the sea turtles! That kitty was so adorable! Makes you wonder if someone owns it. Well guys you definitely own these videos and this one is no exception!
What a lovely couple yous are not been to greece for years but it looks great where your at my kind of place. Our last holiday was malta in 2019 and loved it. Hopes yous enjoy have a good one will be watching from Aboyne Aberdeenshire 👍
@@highlands2hammocks Your welcome been watching your videos for a a while now subscribed and always get a thumbs up from us. Give us inspiration to get out and visit some of the places on your videos just need to find the time to do it.
highlands2hammocks goes Benny Hill.......I like TTites when there on a two-for-one deal......The look of Gemma's disapproval, wow it says, Campbell stop now if you want to enjoy the rest of your day type of look. This was a great vlog ,in somewhere that doesn't make you shiver just watching the vlog!. What happened to the camera lens Gemma pulled from the freezing water Excaliber style a while back while Campbell bravely filmed.......No wonder that pool looked so inviting. Wishing you both the best!
Hahaha glad you enjoyed it 😂 thanks for the support! We actually got it working again when we arrived in Malta, I think the heat sped up the process of drying it out haha! It works as normal now. Definitely worth the swim!
Hi looks like kefalonia is definitely worth a visit. How lovely would that be to see the turtles 🐢 running down the beach to the sea. Well both enjoy your holiday traveling around kefalonia. Keep safe. ❤
It is so lovely and we are so glad we decided to book the unknown 😁 aww we have some amazing shots to share next weekend! They are everywhere in Kefalonia haha
That restaurant looks lovely. We're going kefalonia tomorrow and would love to go to that restaurant do you know how to spell the name please. Ps great work on the channel.
Had many trips to the Greek Islands...beautiful. Things have clearly changed since then. Everywhere struggled to understand what/why a vegetarian was. When hey realised what I meant...they laughed 😅 Shame about Lidl being there 😕 It would be better to give business to local established shops/markets
🙋hi from Scotland sorry but kefalonia is not a secret island I have been going to the Greek islands for over twenty years they made the film Captain Corelli's Mandolin a film about the time the Germans and Italians were there juring the war they were terrible to the Greeks think you need to look into the history I am soon to be flying to kos to catch a ferry to the island of leros another lovly island all the Greek islands are amazing another favorite is Crete thanks for sharing take care
Hey Anne 😁 yeah we heard about that movie! Kefalonia definitely feels a lot less discovered than the likes of Santorini and Mykonos haha! Beautiful, have a great time 😁
Been returning regularly for 31 years now. Indeed when first arrived we were offloaded by a tractor and a trolley; I kid you not. As a much younger man I had to climb up and pass baggage to the old fogies: 40 plus 🤣🤣. Was informed by the security/passport control that they were going international ! 2023 one in one out and although German owned is easier then getting into Anfield ! Busier but hardly stressful and indeed still like old Greece. If you want a gem then try Peratata Ionis hotel below Kasteo/ St George’s castle. Best pool on the island, magnificent manager, sun beds galore and never busy. You can explore the island easily by bus, boat, taxi but recommend a car or scooter. Best and cleanest beaches anywhere, food reasonable and drinks similar. Don’t wish to over publicise it but just go, don’t dither and learn how to relax and enjoy Greece. Afharisto xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Exactly that...I remember the tractor and trolley for luggage in 1991 very well. Just point at your baggage - lol! There was a 'new' terminal built but we were told the rich people on the island were paying the government to keep it closed as they didn't want the extra flight. Obviously things changed.

I love anywhere on the Greek islands 🥃🏴
😂😂 I parked my taxi at DHL before pickup at the airport, parking fees are shocking!!
Almost 30 years since I last was in Kefalonia. like all Greek Islands it is stunning and never gets old. Once you have visited Greece you are always going back.
This is so true! We first visited a few years ago, we went to Athens, Santorini and Naxos! Absolutely love it here 😁
lol....undiscovered hidden gem! As other comments show, it's a well known island. We first went there in 1991! Nice video though.
Thanks 😁 it’s an amazing island isn’t it! Much quieter than some of the other Greek islands 😂
Kefalonia looks so beautiful, so relaxing too. Have a lovely week xx
Thank you so much 😁

So glad I discovered your channel! My new favourite travel vloggers. Gemma, where is your long white dress from? It’s lovely!
Aw thank you so much Sophie 😁 it is from Zara!
The taped off bit is a turtle's nest, eggs are laid. Been there 3 times & not been lucky to see a nest hatch! But where you caught the ferry there are a few adult turtle's that live there year round!
Very cool, we didn’t think about there being turtles here but we were so happy to see lots in Argostoli 😁
....great video guys! Kefalonia has been one of my favorite summer holiday destinations for years. Mind you though, it gets really busy in August....
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Good to know thanks! 😁 we were amazed by how quiet it was
Hey nice, I've been trying to decide if we include Kefalonia on our Greece trip.
Aw it is so beautiful we can definitely recommend 😁 rent a car or a scooter if you do!
Looks amazing - we had hoped to pop over while we were in the Peloponnese, but ran out of time… definitely on the list!
So glad you got some sunshine ☀️
Definitely one to visit another time 😁 thanks Lesley! We had a lovely time!
Beautiful place Kefalonia. Fiscardo at the top of the island is lovely however it was nearly 20 yrs ago when we visited 😊
Fiskardo is beautiful 😍 we were up there the other day! Such a lovely island
I am definitely going there! I’ve jotted down all the details! No scooter for us though! We would be a menace on the road! The food looks delicious!
Aw you will love it Lorna 😁 haha it is surprisingly easy to ride around on scooter because of how quiet the roads are. Plenty of options for car rentals instead though 😊

@@highlands2hammocks Great news on the lens!
Wow! I love that you have cheap options for food. I was wondering, when you rented a scooter do we need an international license for that? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! There was so much great food in Kefalonia! We didn’t have an international license because our uk one is valid for under 50cc 😊
Looks like a beautiful place and so glad there is a good choice of veggie food on the menus for you to try. Hope you get to see the turtles too!
We are so surprised by how much good veggie food there is if you look for it 😁 Aww we sure do! Can't wait to share it next weekend 😁
Wow what a lovely looking island. The plant is Bougainvillea it seems to grow natively around the Med. Love watching your videos :)
It is such a beautiful place 😁 thanks for watching!
Hi looks like kefalonia is definitely worth a visit. How lovely would that be to see the turtles 🐢 running down the beach to the sea. Well both enjoy your holiday traveling around kefalonia. Keep safe. ❤

You are going to love it 😁 the beachfront restaurant is on the western coast and is called Paralia Vatsa. Enjoy your trip!
Captain Corelli’s Mandolin was filmed in Kefalonia in 2000. Not such a secret after all !
We had no idea! Not seen that one but will need to watch it now 😁
Beautiful 😍

Had many trips to the Greek Islands...beautiful.
Things have clearly changed since then. Everywhere struggled to understand what/why a vegetarian was. When hey realised what I meant...they laughed 😅

😁😁
Did you honestly just say that there was a drop off fee at the Airport? OMG!
Yup, £4!
Where are all the refuges ?
Not sure 😊 we didn’t see any
Only on kos
Are you the Daniel Radcliffe look-alike 🤣😂😜
I should really apply for the new tv series!
big mistake getting a 50cc instead of a 125cc
Yeah we don’t have the license for a big boy bike so it’s the playmobil one for us 😂
Much prefer Italy
Fair enough 😁
