Kefalonia

If you’ve seen the film adaptation of Captain Corelli’s Mandollin, you’ll know that Kefalonia is a sight for sore eyes. As one of the quieter Greek islands, Kefalonia has more of a laid-back vibe than other ‘party’ islands such as Zante (Zakynthos). Beautiful beaches, peaceful resorts and friendly locals make this an excellent summer sun destination in Europe for families, couples and friends alike.

Make sure you do not miss the beautiful Myrtos Beach, be sure to spend a day exploring the quaint fishing village of Fiskardo in the north, and don’t forget to enjoy the stunning inland mountainous scenery by car.
