More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a sunlit curve of Kefalonia as the van eases onto a mountain road—vineyards on one side, the Ionian visible in flashes between cypress and limestone. The day unspools from monastery calm to subterranean light: the reliquary hush of Saint Gerasimos, the cool echo of Drogarati’s caverns, the metallic tang of Robola grapes, and finally the cliff-framed grandeur of Myrtos plunging into turquoise.
