KEFALONIA IS THE

LARGEST OF THE IONIAN

THE ISLAND

AENOS

FRESH DRINKING WATER FLOWS DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

IN THE NORTH OF KEFALONIA THERE IS NO SAND TO BE FOUND, HERE WE HAVE RUGGED

COVES OR BEAUTIFUL SHINGLE BAYS

MANY AREAS ARE PERFECT FOR SNORKLING

CRYSTAL CLEAR WATERS AND IN THE SOUTH YOU ARE NEVER FAR FROM THE

BACKDROP OF MOUNT AENOS

LONG SANDY BEACHES MEAN THEY DON’T EVEN FEEL CROUDED IN THE

HEIGHT OF THE SUMMER
