Gateway to the Ionian jewel of Kefalonia, Greece.

Location
Kefalonia Island, Greece
Kefallinia Airport (EFL/LGKF), officially known as Anna Pollatou Airport, serves the island of Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea, Greece. It is a regional airport primarily handling seasonal charter and scheduled flights connecting the island to European destinations during the busy summer tourism season. The airport is situated approximately 9 kilometres south of Argostoli, the island's capital. Traffic peaks significantly between May and October, when Kefalonia attracts large numbers of tourists drawn by its beaches, scenery, and the fame brought by the novel and film 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin'. Due to the island's mountainous terrain and the airport's relatively short runway, aircraft operations require specific approach procedures. The facility is operated under the broader Fraport Greece concession, which manages a number of Greek regional airports.
Terminals
The airport has a single passenger terminal handling both arrivals and departures, sized primarily for seasonal tourist volumes.
Getting to & from
Taxis are the primary ground transport option from the airport to Argostoli and other parts of the island, with limited bus connections available.
Airlines here
Key carriers serving EFL include TUI, Jet2, and easyJet, primarily operating seasonal charter and leisure flights from UK and European airports.
