Kefalonia has the most sunny days in Greece,
after Mitilini. Besides mountains, Kefalonia has small lakes with
beautiful scenery.
Kefalonia is formed of jagged hilly limestone. It is 50km 31
miles long and the largest (735km - 284sq miles) of the lonian
Islands. The landscape is varied; smiling terraces by the sea
contrast with the more arid mountain slopes which nonetheless
support clumps of cypresses among the olives. Mount Ainos (Enos),
the highest point (alt 1 628m - 5 941ft), is covered by a particular
kind of spruce peculiar to the island.
Local specialities include the delicious Robola wine, dishes
composed of meat and rice and thyme-flavoured honey. The Cephallonians
are reputed to be a spirited people whose patriotism was praised
by Byron. The island has not only produced soldiers, sailors and
enterprising emigrants, but has also fostered an aristocratic
and cultivated society which produced scholars and politicians
such as Metaxas (1871-1941) who rejected the Italian ultimatum
on 28 October 1940.
Some of the wonderful beaches on the island can be found in Vinares,
Agio Theodoro, Paliostafida, Plati Gialo, Argostoli, Avitho, Ammes,
Agia Pelagia, Mirtos, Pessada. and Agios Thomas. Katelios and
Scala are the right places to enjoy sitting by the sea and having
fresh fish with ouzo at the local taverns.
