THE SCENT OF THE INLAND

Kefalonia has much more to offer than its breath-taking beaches and secluded coves. It is the perfect island for travellers who expect more than just a beach or pool holiday.

With our proposals, we will help you to explore the stunning panoramic scenery of the internal parts of Kefalonia. We will guide your sight through its majestic mountains covered with pine forests, vineyards and olive groves, little churches and golden-shaded monasteries, pretty little harbours and ghost villages, silent witnesses of the earthquake which devastated the island in 1953.

Be amazed by the perfume and the colours of myrtle and rosemary while driving through sleepy little villages and past pastures where sheep and goats graze. Stop by little picturesque taverns to enjoy both local gastronomy and the well-known hospitality of the Greek people. There are also many Greek festivities during the year that travellers will delight in taking part and local wineries, olive presses or apiaries where guests can visit and taste the produce.

Although ancient tombs and ruined castles tell the stories of different historical ages and their characters, the memories of the Second World War are those more vividly felt. Through the tragic stories about the Italian Acqui Division fervently narrated by the locals and evoked by the famous Captain Corelli’s Mandolin you will have a glimpse of a touching moment of contemporary history which inseparably united Greeks and Italians in “one face, one race”.
