Averages for kefalonia in September

September in Kefalonia is still extremely warm although slightly cooler than preceding months. It is also slightly quieter.

Kefalonia is still very warm, with the average temperature reaching a high of 26°C (that's about 79°F), and a low of 16°C (about 61°F) in the evenings. 

This means that light clothing such as t-shirts, shorts and sandals are still appropriate and can be used from the day right through to the evening.

There are 9 hours of average daily sunshine but there is much more rain than in previous months, average monthly rainfall being 30mm.

The average sea temperature is still high at around 25°C (about 77°F), so you can swim and take part in different watersports.

The best place to indulge in water based activities is Xi Beach, in the south west of the island. Why not head down to the gorgeous orangey-red sands and try your hand at windsurfing or waterskiing?

As September is slightly quieter, this is a perfect time to visit some of the landmarks around the island.

St. George's Castle is found in Livatho Valley and is known to be over 1600 years old. This castle served as a fortress as during Roman times the island was subject to constant attacks by pirates.

Its elevated position means it was an essential part of defence and takes its name from the now destroyed Church of St George, which also stood on the site.

The restaurants in Argostoli are also much quieter so are well worth a visit. Visit the central square of Plateia Valianou for an excellent range of restaurants, although for a cheaper night out then it is worth venturing further away from the centre.
