A big island brought into the spotlight by Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Kefalonia has seen Italian occupation, German invasion, civil war and a devastating earthquake. But today it stands strong and beautiful, a destination back to its best with masses to see and do. From Skala in the south to Fiskardo in the north, from dramatic Assos to the beach pin-up of Myrtos, Kefalonia has a costal vibe that is hard to beat. There is swimming, snorkelling, diving, yachting, beach bumming and cave exploring plus the food is excellent. Restaurant tables groan under the weight of mezze, sensational seafood and flagons of local wine. Inland the countryside is covered in olive groves and vineyards, fields are dotted with sheep and goats and Mount Ainos rises above it all, take a walk to the summit for spectacular views of the entire island.
