Visit the Kefalonian paradise!
It is the biggest island of the Ionian Sea, at the outlet of Patraikos Bay, between Zante and Lefkada. It stretches over an area of 904 km with a coastline length of 250 km.
The magnificent sights, amazing beaches, rich cultural heritage, great monuments, mountains, castles, remote monasteries and cheerful, hospitable people are the treasures making Kefalonia one of the most attractive destinations.
The island has a splendid natural beauty and a diversified geological structure with innumerable small bays and rich vegetation. The mountain Aenos (National Park since 1962 supporting rich flora and fauna), and Argostoli , the islands’ capital, built amphitheatrically with a view of the Koutavos lagoon, are places you have to visit!
Kefalonia has so many amazing beaches you can go for swimming! Some of the most beautiful and popular beaches with ideal conditions for swimming are Myrtos , Antisamos, Emblisi , Foki, Skala, Lourdas ,Makris Gialos and Platis Gialos beaches! The rare loggerhead turtles choose many of the beaches here to lay their eggs, so it is quite common to see protected nests on some of them!
Other places you should visit are the Archaeological Museum, the Korgialeneios Library, the Folklore and History Museum, the Napier Garden and of course the Katavothres!
To add some Kefalonian flavor to your experience, taste traditional local dishes such as Kefalonian meat pies, aliada and pastitsada.
