how big is kefalonia

Kefalonia is roughly 780 square kilometres in area, making it the largest of Greece’s Ionian Islands and about the 6th largest island in Greece overall.

Here’s the quick scoop:

• Most sources put the island’s size between 773 and 781 square kilometres (about 298–301 square miles).

• Its coastline is about 254 kilometres long, so it feels quite “big” when you drive around it.

• In rough shape terms, it’s up to about 80 km long and 45 km wide at its broadest points, though it narrows in places.

So, if you’re picturing it for travel: it’s large enough that you can’t really “do it all” in a single casual day of driving, but small enough to cross from one side to the other in a couple of hours by car, depending on the route and summer traffic.
