About
About Kefalonian Lines
Kefalonian Lines was a Greek ferry company that served the Ionian island of Kefalonia and neighbouring Zakynthos between 2013 and 2018. Founded by Stefanos Likoudis, it was created specifically to cover the transport needs of Cephalonia in the Ionian Sea.
The Kyllini gateway
Its best-documented service was the mainland gateway crossing between Kyllini on the Peloponnese and Poros on Kefalonia, the standard car-ferry route onto the island, worked by its ferry Nissos Kefalonia.
A short-lived line
The company ceased operations in 2018 amid consolidation of Ionian ferry services; its flagship Nissos Kefalonia passed to Levante Ferries, which renamed it simply Kefalonia. This profile is retained for reference; the line is no longer operating.
