The largest island in the Ionian Sea, Cephalonia offers excellent watersports and rugged coastal scenery. Take a small boat to visit the Melissani Grotto, stroll through the capital town of
Argostoli, enjoy the view from the castle at Assos, relax on one of the island's beautiful beaches (our favorites are Makris Gialos and Myrtos Bay) and enjoy the wine festival in the village of Frangata during the last two weeks of August.
Mount Enos has good hiking, free-roaming wild horses and tall fir trees found nowhere else in the world. Cephalonia is generally reached by ferry from Patras.
175 mi/280 km west of Athens.
