The largest of the Ionian Islands, Cephalonia is an oasis of spectacular scenery. One of the greenest islands, the rocky terrain is blanketed in forests of Fir trees, extensive olive groves and vineyards. The precipitous cliffs shelter secluded mountain coves and narrow lanes criss-cross through the mountains past sleepy villages, churches and monasteries.
Said to be home to the tomb of Odysseus, the island is rich with legend, myths and historical sites, including the Venetian Citadel in the picturesque Assos and the monastery of St. Gerasimus. The rugged landscape also hides some fantastic natural phenomena, such as the Cave of Drongorati or the underground lake at Mellisani, while the imposing rock of Ainos, home to wild horses, offers gorgeous panoramic views.
