Kefalonia is a Greek island with a difference. An understated atmosphere brings many people here in search of a Greece untainted by mass tourism. The natural beauty of Kefalonia, however, is anything but understated, with rugged mountains and olive groves combining to create spectacular scenery. One of the sunniest Greek islands, its ivory shores and plethora of tiny fishing villages are a joy to explore. Meanwhile, as you head inland Kefalonia sweeps up into dramatic mountain scenery. Monasteries dot the pine-clad, craggy hills leading to the impressive Mount Aenos in the south, while in the north, spectacular cliffs are the defining characteristic of a stunning coastline.
