There are a vast array of different types of holiday homes in Kefallonia that one can choose from. This is because of all the Greek Islands this is one of the largest ones of them all. The actual name of the island when translated into English means, "Island with a head" and if you were to look at it from above you will see why.
Of all the Islands that make up the Greek ones this is one of the most popular with tourists from around the world. Along with some of the most beautiful and unspoilt villages you are likely to see the Island of Kefallonia sports some of the most beautiful beaches as well.
But if you want there is so much more one can do and attractions that one can visit when staying on Kefallonia. In this article, we look at some of the kinds of attractions that you may be interested in visiting when staying on this island on your next vacation.
1. Cave of Drogarati - This is one of the largest and oldest stalagmatic caves to be found in the world today. In fact, historians believe that this cave is around 150 million years old. Within the cave, there is the Concert Cave that is situated 150 feet below the ground and is known for having really good acoustics.
2. Church of Saint Gerasimos - Located close to the village of Lassi this is yet another natural cave to be found on the island and is where Saint Gerassimos was believed to have stayed. He then moved to the Omala Valley and it was here that he chose to reorganize the monastery there, which is known as Agios Gerassimos.
3. The Kefallonia Archaeological Museum - This museum is located in the town of Argostoli and contains many artefacts and antiquities that have been discovered on the island. It covers the islands history from pre-historic times through to the period when the Romans were living on it.
4. Agios Andreas Monastery - This is one of the few buildings that remained standing as part of the Katholikon Nunnery after a huge earthquake that occurred on the Island back in 1953. It has become even more popular as a tourist attraction since 1988 after the holy remains (the right foot (sole)) of the Apostle Andrew is now kept in the museum, which is part of this attraction.
