Averages for kefalonia in April

April is the beginning of the summer season in Kefalonia, with hotels and restaurants beginning to open up again. Temperatures begin to get warmer and tourists begin to come to the island.

The average temperature in April gets up to about 17°C (that's about 63°F), and in the evening goes down to around 9°C (about 48°F), with around 7 hours of average daily sunshine.

April is also dryer than preceding months with an average monthly rain of 30mm, however this can be expected over 10 days so expect some light showers.

With warmer temperatures during the day and more amounts of sunshine it would be good to bring some lighter clothes like t-shirts and shorts, however do be prepared as the evenings are much chillier and there is a high risk of rain. A light jacket or waterproof mac would be a good idea.

Make sure to check the local weather report for a better idea of what to bring before you make your trip.

The average sea temperature is up slightly to 16°C (about 61°F) so if you were feeling brave you could try swimming - however with the changeable weather this would not be advisable.

As tourist season starts again, there are many more things to see and do around the island.

Assos Castle is the largest castle on Kefalonia and sits on a hill just to the North of the capital city, Argostoli. Named as a European heritage site, you can spend a lot of time here exploring the winding passages and stone walls before heading down to Myrtos Beach to relax!
