We are a small team of professionals that chose to move to Kefalonia, each with different backgrounds and reasons but with a common love of the island.
We’ve all experienced Kefalonia as tourists first and have worked in tourism and other fields here for many seasons. For the past few years we have combined our knowledge and enthusiasm, to present you all the best of Kefalonia, each bringing a personal approach from their area of expertise.

My name is Anna Votsi, and I am the founder and editor of Kefalonia by Anna. I moved to the island with my family when my son, now 14 years old, was just 45 days old! Although many things have changed since then, I can say without a doubt that it was the best decision of my life.I studied Art, Electronic Media and Film Studies, in England and for over 15 years, I worked on the production of major cultural events and festivals in London and Athens. It was an incredible experience, but eventually, I grew tired of city life. Now, I live in Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, and for the past 13 years, I have been deeply involved in tourism. I manage rental properties, organize tailor made tours and activities, create videos and documentaries, and work when possible as a local coordinator, and location manager for international companies producing events on or about the island. My passion is exploring and capturing the beauty of this unique island through my camera, sharing it with you on this personal travel guide with original articles, photos, and videos, sharing information about Kefalonia. My vision is to offer readers and travellers an authentic glimpse into Kefalonia, focusing on those seeking an experience rather than just a holiday—those who want to connect with our nature, customs, and people.

I left the UK over 17 years ago and have lived in Kefalonia ever since. I hold an M.A. from the University of Sheffield, and have many years’ experience as an Intranet Content Specialist with a large pharmaceutical company. Disillusioned with the rat race my partner and I upped and left the UK and started a new, exciting and sometimes challenging, life in Kefalonia. When I am not editing, adding content and proof-reading the site I love travelling and exploring the world, and Kefalonia!
Check out my posts on “Island Breeze” where I’ll try to bring you some interesting stories of everyday life on this wild and beautiful island!

Hello,
While I am very familiar with the island and can provide an itinerary of highlights myself, I am wondering if you can help with a driver and a van, a meal at Xaritatou Winery (I have visited many times, am probably related somehow and adopted my dog from them in 2017!), a boat tour and any other one of a kind experiences I might not be aware of. (I would absolutely love if we can one day find out where we might see the wild horses!) We are planning a group trip for 5 couples in mid-July 2025. Eager to hear your ideas!
Hi, please send me a mail on kefaloniabyanna@gmail.com
Stunning website. Fabulous-looking island. I have spent several hours across 3 days ‘inching my way’ around your entire website. It is jam-packed with interesting information & great ideas. Particularly useful to me was your information about Assos and the Venetian Castle. Can’t wait to visit them from my 30 September 2024 flight-in for 11 days! Your hard work, brilliant photos and enthralling videos are truly a Great Advertisement for Kefalonia.
Please just edit out my E-address from any published data, and anonymise my name to TyrerG if you so wish. Very well done, again. Finding your website has been very useful for my next travel adventures.
Thank you very much for your nice words, I would appreciate it if you leave me a review on google or the fb page, all the information you see is privately funded, thanks
