The Ionian Island with intriguing contradictions
Kefalonia is the biggest island in the Ionian Sea stretching on 780 square kilometers of
fascinating landscape that combines a plethora of intriguing attributes: cliffs and olive groves,
dry scenery and very fruitful plains, dense forests, tall mountains, wild rivers and definitely a
most amazing coastline. Nature has been very generous with Kefalonia. After all, it is believed
to have belonged to the realm of Odysseus whose palace was in the neighboring Ithaca.
There are numerous beaches circling the island but you will find yourself discovering a small
paradise in the northwestern part, called Myrtos. This long beach covered in white soft sand
and pebbles hides safely in a rocky bay and is renown for its overwhelming beauty.
Several picturesque villages like the one of Fiscardo on the northern tip of the island will
further enchant you with their traditional houses, narrow pedestrian roads and their harbors
where you can gaze at small fisher boats as well as at impressive luxurious yachts. The local
cuisine here is a must! Pamper yourself in one of the most stunning properties of the island,
and enjoy unforgettable sunsets and colorful views tinting the seawater and the horizon.
Kefalonia has an international airport with direct flights from most major cities.
