Why rent a car at Kefalonia Airport?
Kefalonia Airport (EFL), also known as Anna Pollatou Airport, is the main gateway to the island of Kefalonia. Renting a car directly at the airport allows you to start your trip immediately after landing and reach your hotel or resort without waiting for taxis or transfer buses.
From the airport, you can easily drive to popular destinations such as Argostoli, Lassi, Skala, and the island’s famous beaches like Myrtos Beach. If you would like to explore more of the region, visit our main page for car rental in the Ionian Islands.
Picking up your rental car at Kefalonia Airport
About Kefalonia Airport (EFL)
Kefalonia Anna Pollatou Airport (IATA: EFL) is the main gateway to the island and serves a good range of direct European connections, particularly from the UK, Germany and Scandinavia. The airport operates from a single terminal with car rental desks in the arrivals hall. Vehicles are collected in the rental area outside the terminal building. The airport is quiet and efficiently organised, and the rental pickup process is generally smooth even at peak arrival times.
Getting on the road from Kefalonia Airport
The airport is located approximately 8 km south of Argostoli, the island’s capital. From the rental car exit, the main road north leads into the town in around 15 minutes. For Myrtos Beach in the northwest, follow the road through Argostoli and continue north toward Divarata, a drive of about 45 minutes in total from the airport. For the east coast and Sami, take the cross-island road northeast from Argostoli. For Fiskardo in the far north, allow around 75 minutes from the airport via Argostoli and the northern coastal road.
Why pick up at the airport rather than in the city
Kefalonia’s size and the distances between its main attractions make airport pickup the natural starting point for any visit. Collecting the car on arrival means you can head directly to your accommodation or your first destination without travelling to Argostoli first.
