"When moving to Kefalonia, it's important to pack a variety of clothing suitable for the Mediterranean climate. This includes lightweight clothing for the hot summers, as well as some warmer items for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the island's beautiful landscapes. Swimwear is a must, as Kefalonia is known for its stunning beaches. You should also pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. A beach towel and a reusable water bottle would also be useful for beach days. Remember to bring any necessary medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack travel-sized toiletries to use until you can buy full-sized products in Kefalonia. If you plan on cooking at home, you might want to bring some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find on the island. Similarly, if you have favorite books or other entertainment items, consider bringing them along, as English-language items might be limited. Don't forget to pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency permits. It's also a good idea to bring copies of important documents, just in case. Lastly, consider packing a few items to make your new home feel more comfortable and personal, such as photos, small decorations, or your favorite blanket or pillow," remarked another expat in Kefalonia, Greece.
