If you had time for just one, which island would you prefer Kefalonia or Zakynthos? Also, I would be coming from Parga so any advice on ferries would be appreciated. Thanks!

I haven't been to Zakynthos, but I loved Kefalonia. Sami is a lovely port town, Assos is very charming, Myrtos beach is gorgeous and the Cave of the Nymphs is not to be missed.
Looks like your best bet as far as ferries would be to head north about 40 minutes to Igoumenitsa, hop the ferry to Corfu, then another down to Kephalonia. https://www.ferries.gr/greek-islands-ferry/ferry_igoumenitsa.htm
Best wishes for your travels! What time of year are you going? Just be aware that if it's in winter or shoulder season, ferry services are reduced and some sights might not be available.

For off-season travel it's important to know that the Ionian islands aren't, on average, as warm or sunny as the Aegean islands.
