If you are looking for a bustling resort then December is definitely not the time of year to come to Kefalonia. All the major hotels and restaurants are closed and the array of entertainment on offer is far more limited than almost any other time of year.

There are of course Christmas celebrations in town centres and New Years' Eve events. These are more religious orientated rather than commercial so they may not be to everyone's taste.
