History
Kefalonia’s islandscapes bear the imprint of seismic history—the 1953 earthquake reshaped towns like Argostoli while Fiskardo retained pre-earthquake Venetian-style buildings. St. Gerasimos, the island’s patron, anchors local religious tradition in Omala valley.
Conservation
Visitors should stick to marked paths, avoid removing shells or geological samples, and support local conservation efforts that protect seabeds and nesting sites.
