Greece may be in the throes of an economic crisis, but on the island of Kefalonia, where the economy is so reliant on tourism, it’s business as usual.
And ‘usual’ for Kefalonia means bare beaches, sick national parks, crystal blue seas and food that makes your heart go boom.
At roughly 304 square miles, Kefalonia is 80 square miles bigger than Ibiza, with only a quarter of the population.
Part of the Ionian Islands, Kefalonia (or Cephalonia) owes its name to Kephalos – the first king of the area during the Palaeolithic era.
