Kefalonia is a large island
with many beautiful and contrasting places that
fascinate the visitor.
Under its imposing Mount Ainos with its unique pin trees, the enchanting shores
of the island stretch out with golden sandy beaches that are unforgettable
to those who visit them.
The dense road network designed at the time of the British rule allows the
traveler to know the island. The variety and interchange of the scenery, with
its lush vegetation and wild beauty impress the visitor.
The towns and villages have come alive again following the disastrous earthquake
of 1953 that had raged everything to the ground. At its northernmost past,
the older settlements have withstood the fury of the earthquake, therefore
the past is joined with the present. Buildings of rare architecture show the
beauty of another era.
In order to discover all these strange and beautiful spots, one should know
which places to visit, where to taste the delicious Kefalonian food, where
to entertain and what to buy from the beautiful shops of the island.
