Cephalonia
Kefalonia is the largest island in the Ionian Sea and sixth in size in Greece.
It is located between the islands
of Lefkada and Zakynthos.
The
deep blue
sea, the golden sandy beaches, the
unique dreamy
caves, the rocky mountains and the
traditional settlements with their picturesqueness and grandeur of
the past will be the ideal scenery of your holidays in the island
of Kefalonia.
Its beautiful places, archaeological areas and historical monuments
will impress you.
The island of Kefalonia has escaped mass tourism and recently was used as a location to film “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”, set in war-time Kefalonia. The film, with Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz, was a huge success and it put Kefalonia firmly on the ‘must visit’ list of destinations.
Above the small peninsula, in the area of Fanari, stands the
wonderful Argostoli, the capital of
the island, 
with the bridge of Drapano, the
Koutavos
lagoon, the Lighthouse of Agii Theodori and the
Cave of Agios
Gerasimos.
The beaches of the island are unique and magical with wonderful gold, red or white sand, blue transparent or green emerald waters along with the presence of the green slopes and the sea breeze of the Ionian Sea.
