Easter in the Ionian Islands is a real explosion of sounds and colours. Did you know that on the morning of Holy Saturday the bells ring for the "First Resurrection" and red terracotta pots are thrown from the balconies, filled with water to make them even noisier?

The promenade that climbs towards the castle of Assos, on the central western coast of the island, is one of the most famous photographic points of Kefalonia. The view over one of the most beautiful villages of Kefalonia is spectacular at any time of day but it is at sunset that the houses of the village turn golden and the cliffs around the village really seem to shine. The castle of Saint George, located in the southwest of the island, is of equal beauty. From the old walls of the fortress, in fact, you can enjoy an unlimited view of the plain of Argostoli.
