About 8 km, 15 minutes and roughly €20 by taxi. Lassi is closer still, about €15.

Only a handful of KTEL Kefalonias shuttles to Argostoli on summer days (about €3), timed to some flights, and none in winter. Plan on a taxi, transfer or hire car.

About €50 to Skala (50 minutes) and €80 to Fiskardo (80–90 minutes) by day. Both are worth pre-booking as a transfer; the rank empties on Saturdays.

A taxi costs about €45 and takes 45 minutes over the mountain; a pre-booked transfer is similar. There is no bus connection from the airport.

Taxi to the Argostoli quay (about €20) and the car ferry across the gulf, every half hour, 25 minutes. The road around the bay takes 50 minutes and costs about €55.

In the open-air car park beside the terminal, from about €3 an hour or €10 a day, first 10 minutes free. It rarely fills outside mid-August.

Avis, Budget, Hertz, Sixt, Europcar and Enterprise have desks in the terminal, alongside many Kefalonian companies that also deliver to hotels. The cars are parked beside the terminal.

Almost certainly. The island is large and mountainous, the KTEL is sparse and there is no airport bus; Myrtos, Assos, Fiskardo and the Melissani cave are all a drive away. Book early for July and August.
