Averages for kefalonia in July
July along with August is the warmest time of year to be in Kefalonia, so is perfect for all you sun-worshippers!
The average temperature reaches a massive 29°C (that's about 84°F), and even in the evenings never reaches lower than 18°C (about 64°F).
Although temperatures are very warm, the island is cooled by the meltemi, a strong wind.
Light clothing such as t-shirts, shorts and sandals would be appropriate for both day time and evening wear.
In July there are 12 hours of average daily sunshine and there is often no rainfall at all!
The average sea temperature is a pleasant 24°C (about 75°F), so this is the perfect time to get down to the beach and try some watersports.
Xi Beach, in the south west of the island, is famed for its watersports so the more adventurous among you can try some waterskiing and windsurfing.
If you are planning on doing lots of sunbathing then make sure you wear sunscreen with a high SPF, as sunburn can ruin a holiday (not to mention a tan!)
Sunstroke is also a big risk so try to avoid being in the sun during the hottest parts of the day. Make sure you know when this is by checking the local weather forecast.
If you are out and about checking out the sites then make sure you carry water with you in order to keep hydrated. Hats and sunglasses are also a good idea.
Be sure to check out the theatrical festival in the middle of the month in the capital city of Argostoli, in which many different plays are performed.
