Kefalonia & Neighbouring Ithaka
The gorgeous Ionian island of Kefalonia is still relatively unknown to visitors. There is no mass tourism here, it’s authentically Greek. Kefalonia is simply stunning; high mountains, secluded coves, blue flag beaches, forests of cypress trees, endless vineyards and colourful fishing ports. It is no wonder why the island was used as the base for the famous film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Neighbouring Ithaca is worth a day trip as it is an unspoiled hiking paradise with rugged vegetation and only shy mountain goats interrupts the silence. The island is famous as the setting of ‘The Odyssey ‘ by Homer; every traveller should visit Ithaca once and follow in the footsteps of this epic story!
