PERSAS TOURS - Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions in Persa's Tours

How to get to the island of Cephalonia by plane or by charter ?
There are two main possibilities : Firstly, you can travel by airplane from abroad. There are many charters from United Kingdom (London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, ...) and some from the Czech Republic (Prague), Germany (Munchen), Austria (Innsbruck) or Slovenia(Ljubljana). Secondly, if you plan to arrive from another country or place, we suggest your flying to Athens and then to Kefalonia with the daily Olympic Airways flight. Of course, we can book on your behalf whatever airplane ticket you desire.

How to get to the island of Cephalonia by boat (and by car) ?
Again, there are two possibilities : the first one is from abroad, that means by ferry-boat from Italy. There are regular ferries from the port of Brindisi to that of Sami, but only in July and August. Before and after high season, you will have to change car ferry in Patras. If you come from another place in Greece, you can travel with smaller ferries. Here are the lines from Pelopinisos : from Patras to Sami (as we said before) and from Kyllini to Poros (or Argostoli). It's possible to come from another island such as Zante (from Agios Nikolaos to Pessada), Ithaca (from Vathy or Frikes to Fiskardo, Agia efimia or Sami) or Lefkada (from Vassiliki or Nidri to Fiskardo). There is a ferry line from Astakos (mainland Greece) to Sami ,too.

Why aren't there more ferries or charters to Kefalonia ?
It's difficult to answer this question and the reason changes each year. But be sure, that we will do our best to help you in your search.

Do you stays all over the island of Kefalonia ?
This year (2006), we are providing sojourns in the south of the island, which means at the municipalities of Elios-Pronnoi (Katelios, Skala, Poros) and Livathos (Trapezaki, Lourdas).

May I have a "à la carte" stay and not a packaged sojourn ?
Of course, it's possible, under some conditions. Please, contact us to plan your trip and stay with us.

I'm not satisfied with your package holidays. How can I complain ?
We always pay attention to your complaints, but also to your proposals or ideas. If the problem occurs during your stay, please contact us immediatly at our office in Katelios. If you still are not satisfied after your return home, write to us during the following weeks at our e-mail address or at our office and we will answer you soon.

I can see that your site is translated in many languages, but some pages are not available in the language I've chosen. Why ?
Please, be patient. We are working hard to translate the whole site and the missing pages will be ready as soon as possible.
