Kefalonia is without any shadow of doubt the ideal island for a quiet holiday by the sea, enjoying its golden beaches and crystal clear waters. Nature is the undisputed queen with its multifaceted landscapes from the lush greenery, to the highest mountains and unique wildlife. So it is not known for its nightlife, but there are some bars and clubs for those who want to have fun at night, without great expectations and remembering that this is not Mykonos nightlife.

Most of the nightlife is concentrated in Argostoli, the capital, with modern clubs and big discos to have fun all night with dance music and cocktails. Also in other places of the island (Sami, Skala, Fiscardo, Lixouri and Poros) there are bars and disco clubs to spend long nights.

The So Simple
Just outside Argostoli, on the main road to Lassi, the So Simple is a lively bar suitable for all ages. You enter through an arch decorated with palms and exotic flowers, part outdoors, part indoors, the bar offers a tranquil setting offering seats to about 100 people. The music is played both by two huge plasma screens placed on the wall and tuned on Sky, and by a DJ who plays everything from classic 70s, to metal, rock, blues, reggae, hip-hop and rap.
