Kefalonia was shaped by Venetian rule and rebuilt after the powerful 1953 Ionian earthquake; the island’s monasteries and villages reflect these layered histories.
Conservation
Caves and beaches are fragile: stick to paths, avoid touching stalactites, and take all litter with you; local operators often limit boat numbers to reduce impact.
