Kefalonia – A Cinematic Jewel in the Ionian Sea

The island of Nicolas Cage and Penélope Cruz became known from the filming of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and has since been among the top choices of directors, with the most recent productions from Netflix’s “Waves of Eternity” and Amazon Prime’s “Echoes of the Past,” the island’s majestic scenery continues to draw international attention.

Getting to Kefalonia is no production nightmare either. The island features direct flights to its international airport from major European cities and ferry connections to the mainland.

Blessed with a Mediterranean climate, Kefalonia boasts warm, sunny summers and mild winters, with an average temperature of 16 degrees Celsius in cooler months—making it the perfect set for year-round productions or just an escape into paradise.
