Kefalonia is amazingly unspoilt by the ravages of mass tourism and has wonderful coast lines and safe beaches with a relatively calm sea perfect for snorkelling or family fun. It is an island of contrasts with Mount Enos in the centre with its forests, eagles and wild horses. The lush greenery is supported by underground water systems which have caves and lakes to explore. There are several wine factories that allow visits, the most famous being Robola. Wonderful honey, olives and grapes, citrus fruits, figs and pomegranates are grown. The port of Argostoli has visiting yachts and a large main square with tavernas and coffee bars. Nightlife is low key with an abundance of tavernas, some with music and traditional greek dancing. Kaligata is a small traditional village in the South of the island where the houses are adorned with sweet smelling flowers, jasmine and bourganvillea.There is a mini market and children's playground and interesting churches, close to Avythos blue flag beach.
