With a population of about 45000 people, Kefalonia Island is the biggest of the Ionian Islands. Kefalonia's population is centered, for the most part, in Argostoli, the capital and main harbor. Kefalonia has many natural wonders and a wide range of accommodations. Be sure to enjoy a gorgeous sunset from Mount Ainos, the tallest mountain in Kefalonia, a beautiful National Park with a lovely fir forest.

Kefalonia has an exceptional selection of beaches, with over one hundred places for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. Kefalonia is a wonderful location to kick back and relax on the beach. Trapezaki is a long stretch of golden sandy beach that is a peaceful getaway, surprisingly at all times of the year. Avithos is home to two entrancing sandy beaches that stay shallow several yards from the shoreline, a perfect destination for the entire family.

Kefalonia has long been known as the island of the bizarre due to frequently occurring phenomena. Rocks have been seen moving on their own, waters have disappeared, and strange, inexplicable flowers have grown. Friendly locals would be happy to recount these anecdotes with you, and some have even been witnesses!

In addition, be sure to visit the Cave of Melissani, and its gorgeous subterranean lake, with a long history of myths and legends associated with it. Visitors can see for themselves the stalactites and exquisite varying water shades. This is miraculous in itself, and all who witness will be awed.

Speaking of enthralling phenomena, Kefalonia's food is a wonder as well. With a delicious cuisine, unique to the island, your palate will be amazed at the wonderful delicacies it will experience; be sure to taste "aliada", "kreatopita", and the famous "rombola wine". Kefalonia has even more to offer so that you may enjoy a vacation tailored especially for you.
