Planning your summer escape? Let us point you in the direction of Kefalonia, the jewel of the Ionian and the heart of Going Greek. It’s not just where our recipes come from – it’s the place that inspires every gyros, every souvlaki, every pitta we serve here in London. Here’s why you’ll want to add it to your travel list (and your plate):

1. Beaches That Look Photoshopped
We’re talking turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs and soft sands you’ll never want to leave. Kefalonia’s Myrtos Beach is the kind of spot that makes you forget emails exist. If only Deliveroo delivered sunbeds.

2. Food That Feeds the Soul
From freshly grilled souvlaki to homemade tzatziki and honey-drenched desserts, the flavours of Kefalonia are bold, fresh and unforgettable. Can’t catch a flight? Don’t worry – we’ve bottled that same magic at Going Greek.

3. Warmth Beyond the Weather
Yes, the sun shines endlessly, but it’s the people who make Kefalonia glow. Hospitality is a way of life there – the same spirit we bring to our London street food.

4. A Slower Pace (That We All Need)
Island life is about taking time to savour the moment. Whether that’s a sunset in Fiskardo or a long lunch with friends, it’s exactly the vibe we channel in every bite you share with us.

5. It Feels Like Home
For our founder, Kefalonia isn’t just a holiday spot – it’s family, history and the recipes passed down through generations. Going Greek is our way of giving London a slice of that story.

So if Kefalonia is calling your name this summer – pack the SPF. And if you’re staying local? We’ve got you covered with souvlaki, gyros and halloumi that taste just as good without the plane ticket.
