Kefalonia is a beautiful island with much to offer -- including dramatic landscapes, picture-postcard villages, colourful harbours, stunning beaches and a fascinating history. There are so many places to explore in Kefalonia -- you could visit Argostoli, the bustling capital of the island, or go to the underground lake at Melissani cave, or see the stalactites and stalagmites at the cave of Drogarati. If history is more your thing, then there are Venetian fortresses, Byzantine remains, Mycenaean tombs and Roman mosaics. In short, Kefalonia is full of variety and is a perfect place to escape to and enjoy the richness and authenticity of island life. The sun sea and islands have been attracting visitors to Greece for many years. Kefalonia is a relative newcomer to the tourism industry. The traditional charm and flavour of the island has been retained, which is what makes it such a wonderful destination. Being the birthplace of democracy, philosophy, and sciences, Greeks are proud of their rich culture and ancestry, and are delighted when foreigners show genuine interest in their cultural heritage and customs. The weather in early and late season can be variable, with intermittent rain and temperatures dropping in the evening. The summer is hot and dry with temperatures regularly exceeding 38 degrees C between June and September.
