The 6 Best Historic Sites in Cephalonia, Ionian Islands
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.

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

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
