The Archaeological Museum of Sami is a must-see for anyone who wants to know Kefalonia beyond its beaches and most famous tourist attractions. The museum, inaugurated in 2021, hosts a very interesting exhibition of finds collected in the area of Sami and Fiskardo. On the outside of the building, the colorful mosaics that decorated villas, spas and public buildings in the cities are displayed, while inside, the collection is divided into 4 rooms that develop different thematic units. Visit it and tell us which find struck you the most: the interesting pieces are really very many but we particularly liked the jewels, a doll which at the time of its use had movable arms and legs and a small terracotta vase which was probably used both to fill oil lamps and as a feeding bottle, the ancestor of our baby bottle.

For us Italians, lucky inhabitants of a country rich in historical finds unique in the world and incredible architectural beauties, the discovery of Roman settlements during an excavation activity does not represent a rare and particularly significant event. Should you therefore visit the Fiskardo cemetery and the Roman villa of Skala during your holidays in Kefalonia? Absolutely yes! Coming across Roman finds abroad, in addition to demonstrating that we are not the first "Italians" to have fallen in love with this enchanting island, reminds us how intertwined the history of Mediterranean countries is and how much these contacts have enriched all the civilizations involved... And if you're traveling with little explorers, this break from the beach is sure to be a great adventure for them!
