November is almost here and soon the the bright colors of the island will fade under the rain, even if only for a while. It will only be a temporary and regenerating rest before the cicadas start singing again, the sea will shine with dazzling blue reflections and the sunsets will colour the summer evenings with poignant poetry. The Little Prince was wrong; you don't love sunsets only when you are very sad. The sunset is like a dress that you can wear on any occasion: when you have butterflies in your stomach and everything seems too good to be true, when you are grateful for a beautiful day lived intensely and yes, even when you are sad and you need to remember that something wonderful comes even after a difficult moment. Whatever your mood, let your mind wander back to summer and let yourself be transported to Kefalonia for a tour of the 10 best sunsets to see on the island: we will start from the most famous panoramic points to arrive at our favourites, places far from the beaten track where you can enjoy an even more special atmosphere.
"You must always keep Ithaca in mind - reaching it should be your constant thought. Above all, do not rush the journey; let it last a long time, for years, and let you set foot on the island as an old man, rich with treasures accumulated along the way without expecting riches. [...] And if you find it poor, Ithaca will not have disappointed you for this. By now wise, with all your experience on your back, you will have already understood what Ithaca means". Perhaps you have already read the verses of this wonderful poem in one of the many blogs dedicated to Greece. The journey to Ithaca recounted by Cavafis is not only a metaphor for the meaning of life but is also a description of Ithaca that can be fully understood only once you have landed on this piece of land as enchanting as the song of the sirens. Ithaca is the destination for those seeking themselves, the remote corner where they can reflect on their experiences, reorder their thoughts and refresh themselves before resuming their journey. We recommend spending at least 3 or 4 days on the island to explore and savor it at a slow pace as it deserves but, if you want to visit it in a day, there is the possibility of taking a day tour departing from Kefalonia. It will be enough to enchant you and make you want to return as soon as possible, just like Ulysses.
