Kefalonia, Kefallonia, Cephalonia, Kephalonia, Cefalonia, Kefalinia or Kefallinia
Kefalonia is spelled differently by most people. The main cause of this is that Kefalonia has had many different conquerors in
its past. The most common way of spelling the island the last years is Kefalonia although the Greeks themselves spell it often with two Al's.
Kefalonia, which is part of the 'Eptanisa' (Seven Islands), or commonly known as the Ionian Islands is situated about 30 miles off the west
coast of mainland Greece. Kefalonia's beautiful sceneries are simply breathtaking. From the green mountains and their beautiful valleys to
the idyllic bays and their beaches, you will experience a feeling of serenity that is very hard to find nowadays. Kefalonia is still
virtually untouched by mass-tourism, which has altered many other tourist destinations around the world.
Kefalonia...the island full of contrasts.
Kefalonia's beautiful bays & beaches
All the bays and beaches on Kefalonia have their own distinct beauty. Some have rough barren terrain and cliffs behind them and others have olive trees as far as the eye can reach.
The most beautiful beach and most photographed on Kefalonia is undoubtedly Myrtos Beach which is shown here on the right and on top of this page. Flanked by white
limestone cliffs and carpeted in white sand, Myrtos beach is consistently voted by travel magazines as one of the most beautiful in the world and has won
many awards throughout the years for its beauty. Locally in Greece, it has been voted the number one most beautiful Greek beach throughout the last decade. Despite all these breathtaking bays and beaches, the beautiful mountains and valleys and the unique fauna,
Kefalonia island has avoided the mass-tourism influx and has succeeded in keeping its tranquility and beauty.
Kefalonia - Rich with Ancient History
Kefalonia island is supposed to owns its name from Kephalos who was the first king of the area, during the Palaeolithic
era. According to the locals, this king founded the four main cities of the island which were Sami, Pahli, Krani
and Pronnoi, named after his sons. This explains why the island was called Tetrapolis (Four Towns) during this period.
Those four cities were autonomous and independent and they had their own regimes and coins. All cities were built for
strategic and agricultural reasons. If you are interested in Kefalonia's history you can visit the Kefalonian history
page on this site. When visiting Kefalonia you can imagine how it must have been like many centuries ago, since not a
lot has changed on most parts of the island. This is how Louis de Bernieres found his inspiration to write his famous
