Kefalonia is the largest and most beautiful of Greece’s Ionian Islands. The island has increased in popularity for holidaymakers since the famous book, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, was released as a film in 2001. Kefalonia boasts beautiful beaches, hidden coves, rugged hillsides, pine forests and picturesque fishing villages. Argostoli, the island's capital, oozes traditional Greek charm with charming old architecture and a busy strip lined with shops and tavernas. Just up the road from Argostoli is Kefalonia’s largest resort, Lassi, with its long stretch of golden sand and wide choice of accommodation. Other popular resorts on the island include: Ayia Efimia, Kato Katelios, Lourdas and Skala. A sight not to be missed during the summer months is the female loggerhead turtles that come ashore to nest all along the western and southern beaches of Kefalonia. Follow in the footsteps of Captain Corelli and enjoy a holiday on the island of Kefalonia.
