10 Sights & Landmarks in Cephalonia That You Shouldn't Miss
The sapphire waters of Cephalonia are steeped with history. The large Greek island was home to Odysseus, the legendary king hailed in Homer’s The Odyssey. Fortunately, it won’t take you ten years to get there. Explore the enchanting caverns of the Drogarati caves, sail to Ithaca on a glass-bottomed boat or marvel at the ancient artifacts inside the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, Cephalonia’s main town. Or just hide from it all at one of the island’s many private beach coves.

Walk Through a Honeybee Hive with a Local Beekeeping Expert. Don a suit and head into an apiary, where you’ll see an open hive and hold a frame of live bees; conclude your visit with honey tastes. Weather permit it !!!

????????????A must to do while your in Kefalonia, you will love the vast experience of Eleni & Thanassis as they take you on a tour of the bees and tell you all about the journey they take in life, one word is fascinating, once you’ve had a cool drink and things explained, you dress in a beekeeper suit and taken to see the bees and then the laboratory to see how the honey etc is processed, then you get to taste and buy products if you wish. We felt sad to go because they make you feel so welcome. Got to be No1 attraction in Kefalonia ????????????

Amazing place with a gloomy feel. The abandon village is worth a visit and had great photography opportunities and knowing the history of the village makes you appropriate the atmosphere of the place.

I really enjoyed my visit here, even though the Monastery was closed. I was the only person there. A really beautiful building in a magnificent setting!

Before visiting the memorial I recommend reading “Lost Sons of the Mediterranean. Kefalonia - September 1943 by Pietro Giovanni Liuzzi I knew of the massacre of the soldiers from the Acqui Division from reading the book and watching the film, Captain Correlies Mandolin. The memorial is about 15 minutes walk out of Argostoli it is very clean well maintained. There is also a small shrine to the right of the memorial dedicated to Captain Arpala and his men. With the ruins of a building next to it which Im led to believe was a chapel. If you keep walking down the hill at the T junction which heads towards Lassi there is a pit and memorial to 136 soldiers shot and thrown into the pit. The pit I found the saddest knowing what happened there in 1943

Our first visit to Assos was in 1992,way before all the rebuilding work and new villas were erected but even then with only a couple of Tavernas and most of the village still in ruins we both fell in love with it, unfortunately very little if any accommodation was available in those days so we would find rooms as near to Assos as possible.We think the village is head and shoulders above most of the resorts on Kefalonia thats if you really want to chill out in this beautiful scenic little village with its lovely bay and the old castle ruins high above the village. Dont come looking for discos or lots of bars, this is a peaceful little base from where you can explore the rest of the island

Visited as part of a coach tour and visited both the main church and the chapel. Both are must see places for both the aura and the artwork. I wished to light a candle for my nephew who was killed in the Arena bombing and as able to do this in both locations
9. Church of Panagia Sissiotissa

We took a walk across the bridge and admired the lovely views. The bridge is just about at sea level, so you feel like you're walking right on the water over the bay of Argostoli.
