Just a little over 2 and ½ hours away from the UK in the heart of the Ionian sea lies Greece’s best kept secret – Kefalonia and Ithaca islands. These beautiful islands are largely unspoiled and are famous for their natural resources and incomparable beauty, providing excellent recreational possibilities for mountain and sea holidays.
They offer a long coastline of 254km, golden sandy beaches, geological phenomena, wild life, biotopes, and a world unique national park. One of Kefalonia’s beaches was voted amongst the top 15 beaches in the world as featured in BBC News 24 and the Guardian newspaper. They are rich in culture and long history going back 5000 years ago. Homer wrote about a man’s eternal quest to return to his beloved homeland inspired by the beauty of this land. This is the land of Ulysses.
Lord Byron was also inspired and wrote his epic poem Don Juan whilst living on the island and much more recently Lous De Bernier was inspired too and wrote his best seller book captain Corelli’s Mandolin. With over 3000hours of sunshine per year and a sub-tropical climate with mild winters and dry hot summers these islands are perfect for anyone looking for a holiday or an ideal residence whether it is seasonal or permanent. Kefalonia has something for everyone... quality of life, great weather (2nd sunniest place in Greece), friendly people, amazing scenery, beautiful sandy beaches, high mountains covered with fir forests, wild life, history, culture and most of all character.
