| Map of Kefalonia |
Kefalonia
is the largest and the most mountainous island of the Ionian
islands, a place that has real towns as well as resorts. Kefalonia
has 781km2 and 35.800 population(3rd after Corfu
and Zakynthos). Capital of the island is Argostoli, a large and thriving town
with a marvelous position within a bay. A big part of Kefalonia belongs to
mountain Ainos with peaks the Megas Soros (1. 628m), Agia Dynati(1.131m),
Evmorphia(1.043m) and Kokkini Raxi(1.078)
Argostoli
was totally rebuilt after the 1953 earthquake, but has an enjoyable atmosphere
that remains defiantly Greek, especially during the evening around Platia Valianou -the center of the
town- and the pedestrianized Lithostroto,
the main shopping street which runs parallel to the seafront.
