The Greek island of Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands and is located above the island of Zakynthos and west of the Peloponnese peninsula in western Greece. Around a third of the islands’ population reside in its capital Argostoli. Another third can be found at Lixouri, the second major settlement, with the rest of the population spread amongst the other regions of Kefalonia. Though Kefalonia is now a popular tourist destination attracting visitors from all over the world, it was relatively unknown to the international tourist until more recently. Something perhaps influenced by the Hollywood adaptation of Louis de Bernières' novel - Captain Corelli's Mandolin - which was set on the island. Like most of the Greek islands, Kefalonia is well prepared for the influx of tourists during the high season and is relatively easy to get to by ferry too. Ferry ports are situated on each side of the island, with Argostoli to the west, Poros to the south east and Sami towards the north east. Modern ferries travel to Kefalonia from Italy, the Greek mainland and other Greek islands with services increasing with demand during the high season.
Zante, also known as Zakynthos, is a breathtaking Greek island in the Ionian Sea, renowned for its turquoise waters, rugged cliffs, and natural splendor. Its most famous landmark, Navagio Beach—often called Shipwreck Beach—features pristine white sands and a rusted shipwreck framed by towering limestone cliffs, making it a must-visit destination. The island is steeped in culture and history, with quaint villages, traditional tavernas, and sites like the Venetian Castle adding to its charm. Zante is also a haven for wildlife, especially the endangered loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), which nest along its shores. Whether for its serene beauty or vibrant experiences, Zante offers an unforgettable getaway.
