Best Luxury 4 Star Hotels in Kefalonia
You may remember this idyllic isle from the movie Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. And it’s every bit as romantic and picturesque as that film portrays. The largest in the Ionian archipelago, it offers perfect beaches, clear warm seas, mountains, quaint fishing villages and a network of underground nymph caves to be explored. This is not the place to come if you want to party; the atmosphere is laid-back, with tourists preferring to hike, swim, eat, sip wine and unwind. As it’s been inhabited since Paleolithic times there’s much history and Kefalonia is home to endangered metre-long Caretta-Caretta turtles.
