Εικόνες της Κεφαλονιάς

The famous Myrtos. One of the world's most beautiful beaches. A must see spectacle.

Multi awarded and renown, it stands at the top of the list of the best Greek beaches and ranks among the best worldwide, for more than ten consecutive years.

Leivatho (Greek: Λειβαθώ) is a former municipality on the island of Kefalonia, Ionian Islands, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Kefalonia, of which it is a municipal unit.

Descend the steps and an atmospheric subterranean world awaits you.

More than 300 years ago, a strong earthquake revealed the entrance to a miracle of nature: Drogarati Cave, a work of art, an astonishing marvel of more than 150 million years old, crafted gradually by nature. Orange and yellow stalactites hang from the roof like curtains while vitreous stalagmites emerge to form spacious chambers.

Very good dining options near the accommodation are “To Enetiko”, “Esperides” and “En Kefallinia Organic restaurant”. A little further away is “il Borgo” and for a really traditional Kefalonian lunch “Tzivras Restaurant”.

The Loggerhead sea turtles (or also known as Caretta-caretta) are the only marine turtles nesting in Greece and the Mediterranean. They can be distinguished from other turtles by their large heads, reddish-brown shells and yellow/brown skin, while they are considered to be one of the oldest species in the world. An adult Loggerhead grows to a length of 1.0-1.2m, weights between 100-350 kg and can live for around 65 years.

The capital of Kefalonia stands on the far end of the natural bay surrounded by mountains and verdant forests. The town was rebuilt after the catastrophic earthquake of 1953. It is a picturesque town built on hills surrounding the lagoon of Koutavos and the natural harbor formed there.

A quite coastal settlement located 40 km south west of Argostoli, Poros is an ideal choice for visitors who seek to find something more genuinely Greek, tranquile and pure. Poros is situated around the only natural crossing point of the Vohinas riverand the combination of dense and verdant vegetation along with the crystal blue sea makes this village one of the most perfect summer destinations.

One of the main attractions and trademarks of Argostoli is the lighthouse of Saint Theodore which is located on a man-made peninsula close to the Argostoli village. It is the most romantic spot in Kefalonia and it is highly recommended for taking photographs.
