Cephalonia is a large green island, surrounded by long sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs. The island is big enough to offer plenty to do and see: the castle at Assos, the monastery, the Byzantine and Venetian ruins and of course the spectacular semi-underground lake at Melissani., where the light dazzles the water with a myriad of blues and greens. More recently, the romance of this island was again celebrated by the film Captain Coreli's Mandolin.

The Ionian Islands are great for sailing and Cephalonia is no exception.
