I’ve actually been to Kephalonia before, but I was so impressed I’m going again in the next few weeks. It’s the beautiful island in which the book Captain Corelli’s Mandolin was set. The film was also made there.

Many of the buildings were destroyed in an earthquake in 1953. A lot of the population of the island left at the time, but many of them have returned.

Melissani lake is one of the highlights. Assos (above) and Myrtos Beach are also worth seeing.
