From beautiful fishing villages to peaceful olive groves and vineyards, Kefalonia is so beautiful that it almost feels imaginary. It has the simple charm of an old-fashioned island with pristine beaches, emerald seas and pastel-painted villages. It has the magic of a place full of ancient history, Venetian and British reminiscences, moving war memories. Kefalonia has a strong relationship with myth and abounds in hidden secrets and touches of magic. Rare, wild flowers bloom in its fields, wild horses live on Mount Aenos and geological unique phenomena characterize its underworld. It is not surprising that Kefalonia with its lush, picturesque scenery and its welcoming, captivating people, has inspired Greek and foreign writers for millennia.
