Bus from Athens
If you are coming from Athens, bus is another option. When you buy the bus ticket to Kefalonia, the ferry ticket is included (so, you shouldn't be concerned about ferry ticket, which port the ferry goes from/to, etc). The bus gets into the ferry and when it arrives to Kefalonia, it continues to Argostoli, the island capital. The trip takes around 7 hours.
If you decide to take the bus/ferry option, let us know, so we can help you with the reservation.
