Averages for kefalonia in November

November in Kefalonia is much cooler than previous months with much higher rainfall. It is also the end of the tourist season and most hotels and restaurants have now closed for the winter.

The average temperature reaches a high of 17°C (that's about 63°F),but drops down to around 8°C (about 46°F) in the evenings.

There are only 4 hours of average daily sunshine and November is very wet, with an average monthly rainfall of 100mm on 10 days.

The average sea temperature is around 19°C (about 66°F), so the water is warm enough to swim in - however due to high winds and unpredictable weather changes, this is not advisable.

Please make sure to check the local weather report before planning any activities in Kefalonia in the month of November.

Boat travel is severely limited due to the unpredictable weather and any planned trips are subject to cancellation.

Kefalonia really shuts down in the winter so there is very little in the way of local events taking place. Many people have gone back to the mainland for the winter so it has something of a ghost town feel.

There are still some attractions open on the island, including the Roman Villa at Skala. There are some very well preserved mosaic floors as well as artefacts on display from previous excavations.

Other uncovered artefacts will be on display in the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, which is located in the capital city. On display are a mix of Roman and even prehistorical items such as a conical cup dating from the 12th century BC.
