Cephalonia. The largest island in the Ionian, Cephalonia is a land of contrasts. Just for starters don't miss the view from the castle at Assos. On your left spread out beneath your feet, lies the turquoise bay of Myrtos renowned for its afternoon sun and soft white sand. Or you might swim in the crystal clear water of Poros.

The cave at Melissani is actually a partially covered subterranean lake. Drogorati, on the other hand, is known for its unusual stalagtites.

Argostoli is an old attractive city, the capital, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1953. You can visit the Archaeological and Folk Art museums, and you can swim at the famous nearby beaches of Makris and Platis Gialos.

Lixouri, Cephalonia's second largest town, has a peaceful atmosphere, a lovely 19^th century mansion-museum, and vestiges of the ancient city of Pali. The beaches are the best on the island.

Fiskardo, the northenmost harbour on Cephalonia, has kept its traditional colour. Lying opposite and very close to Ithaca, it is surrounded by a thick cypress glade.

On the west side of the island is Assos, a charming village, famous for its picturesque castle.

The good road network, which covers whole island, makes it easy to explore Cephalonia ffrom one side to the other: its deep blue waters, steep bare cliffs, lush valleys, picturesque, secluded villages.
