Kefalonia offers many opportunities to enjoy sports. One can play tennis and basketball at the facilities of Argostoli, as well as at the big hotels.
The quiet beaches of Platis Gialos, Skala, Poros, Agia Evfimia, and Lourdata are ideal for sea sports. The big hotels hire out the appropriate gear and have skilled constructors.
The island is not suitable for hunting. The proclamation of Ainos as its national park has imposed considerable restrictions on it. Those who love fishing can fish in the quiet, little ports of the island, although the fish catch has been reduced lately.
By boat, one can reach the lovely beaches and small ports of Fiskardo, Poros, and Lixouri, or cross over to Ithaki.
