Access
The Omala plateau is easily reached by car from everywhere in Cephalonia. It's about 20 minutes from the capital Argostoli. If you would rather explore the farmland, leave the car at the villages of Fragata or Valsamata, and walk. Or, drive on the surrounding hills. There are many dirt roads criss-crossing the landscape that require an SUV.
