Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands along with the island of Ithaka which forms the Prefecture of Kefalonia. It has a population 32.000 inhabitants and its capital town in Argostoli. The mountainous morphology of its terain with the flow of much water creates strange geological phenomena. Beautiful rocky shores and sandy beaches surround the island on all sides. Its mild climate with its sun shining during most of the days of the year, allows the visitor to enjoy the sea and its natural beauties. The Argostoli airport and the seaports of Sami, Agia Efimia and Argostoli, provide the possibility for good communication and development of tourism.
