Aerial view of Kyllini Port

Kyllini Port is located in the western Peloponnese and serves as the port of Ilia region. It is a small port without gates, so finding your ferry is easy.

From there, your ferry will head towards Poros, the only port in Kefalonia receiving ferries from Kyllini. It is situated on the southeastern side of the island, 40 km away from the capital, Argostoli.

In any case, make sure to arrive at the port at least 1 hour in advance since there is a lot of traffic. Especially if you are traveling in high season, keep in mind that both in Kyllini and in Kefalonia, you may encounter traffic congestion around the port and should be there on time.

Luggage policies in Greek ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry.
If you wish, you can take your luggage with you to the lounges or the deck (if available), but it is recommended that you leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.

To take your car or motorbike to Kefalonia, you need to purchase a vehicle ticket.
Drivers should be at the port 1 hour to 1.5 hours before the official departure time.
For safety reasons, entering the garage while the ferry is sailing is not possible.
Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.
