🗺️ Terrain Summary
Kefalonia is the largest Ionian island, characterized by a rugged and mountainous interior dominated by Mount Ainos and a coastline featuring dramatic limestone cliffs.
✅ Flat Areas
The capital Argostoli, particularly the Vallianou Square and waterfront, along with parts of Lixouri and the resort area of Skala, offer predominantly flat terrain.
⚠️ Hilly / Challenging
The northern region around Fiskardo, the village of Assos, and the steep slopes surrounding Mount Ainos are significantly hilly with narrow, winding roads.
🚫 Areas to Avoid
Melissani Cave and Drogarati Cave are inaccessible to those with limited mobility due to steep stairs, and many secluded beaches are reachable only by sea or difficult footpaths.
