Distance & flight time from EFL

Kefallinia Airport

EFL is Kefallinia Airport, serving Kefallinia (Cephalonia), the largest of the Ionian Islands in Greece. The airport handles seasonal international and domestic traffic, swelling significantly during the summer tourist season when visitors flock to the island's beaches, caves, and coastal villages made famous partly by the novel and film Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Outside peak season, EFL sees much quieter operations with limited flights. The single-runway airport is relatively compact, reflecting the island's population size, but plays a crucial role connecting Kefallinia to Athens and various European charter destinations. Ferries also link the island to the mainland, but EFL provides the fastest access, particularly important for tourism-dependent local businesses during the short but intense summer travel window.
