Kefallonia Regional Unit

Kefallonia Regional Unit covers the western Ionian Sea coast of the Ionian Islands in Greece. The area includes the island of Kefalonia and its surrounding marine environment, with access from the main town hubs and small coastal communities such as Elios-Proni. Dive centers operate along the coastline, focusing on boat trips to nearby dive sites and island lounges; the region offers warm, clear waters with seasonal visibility and varied seabed habitats. While the administrative region is primarily known for land scenery and culture, diving within Kefalonia’s coastal areas generally features gentle drift and reef structures, with opportunities to explore coastal caves and rocky formations close to shore. The Ionian Sea supports diverse marine life typical of southeastern European seas, including common reef fish, octopuses, and schooling fish in sheltered bays.
