Kefallonia

Kefallonia, the largest of the Ionian Islands, shouldn’t be underestimated. It hides secrets and surprises below its rugged, towering mountain range: sprawling vineyards, stunning cliffs and beaches and unclassified Roman ruins. Kefallonia was devastated in the 1953 earthquake, so much of the island’s architectural aesthetics are modern. Yet there’s plenty for the traveller to discover, including beautiful harbours, walking trails and the local cuisine.

Kefallonia’s capital is Argostoli, the main port is Sami, and ferry services also run from Fiskardo and Poros.
