KEFALONIA
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.
