Indigo bays, enchanting villages (Fiscardo, Argostoli, Sami, Assos), white dazzling sand, exciting activities, mysterious caves, and lively atmosphere create an exotic holiday paradise in the middle of the Ionian sea.
The main reason why people keep on coming to Kefalonia is, without any doubt, its wonderful beaches.
