You step out of the air-conditioned vehicle onto a gravel overlook and the island opens: steep white cliffs falling into turquoise water, the wind keeping pace with gulls as they wheel above Myrtos Beach. Over the next eight to ten hours a local driver guides you across Kefalonia’s folds — from coastal harbors to limestone caves — letting the island’s geology and villages set the pace.
