About Kefalonia

Kefalonia island is part of the Ionian Islands. It is the largest island of this group and is also known as the island of the seafarers, the prefecture of Kefalonia also includes the islands of Ithaca, Kastos and Kalamos. The island of Kefalonia is very mountainous: the highest mountain, Mount Ainos, rises at an altitude of 1520 meters and is the only mountain in the whole Mediterranean to possess a unique fir forest species called Abies Kefallia. Those are protected species and the area where they grow has therefore been declared a National Park. Many fruitful plains, amazing lakes and rivers, caves, thick and verdant forests and wonderful beaches with golden sand and crystalline waters embellish the island. During World War II, Kefalonia was under Italian and German domination and the capitulation of Italy led to the massacre of 5,000 Italian soldiers. this event inspired the writer Louis de Bernieres its famous book, entitled Captain Correlli’s Mandolin which became later a movie. Apart from the capital, Argostoli, the island of Kefalonia has a multitude of picturesque villages and small towns scattered all around it. The most famous of those villages is the particularly picturesque Fiscardo, the only village that wasn't destroyed by the disastrous earthquake of 1953, and which keeps its beautiful neoclassical buildings until today.
