Kefallonia, the largest of the Ionian Islands, shouldn’t be underestimated.

Kefallonia was devastated in the 1953 earthquake, so much of the island’s architectural aesthetics are modern. Yet there’s plenty for the traveller to discover, including beautiful harbours, walking trails and the local cuisine.
