Kefalonia Beachfront Hotel Costa Rossa

Worth to see on the Island of Kefalonia/attractions: The lake Melissani, the Venetian castle Agios Georgios and the stalactite cave Drogarati. The Kipouria Monastery and St. Andrew Monastery south of Peratata. The patron saint of Kefalonia is Agios Gerasimos. The small, picturesque coastal town of Fiskardo is embraced by a romatic bay. It was not destroyed by the earthquake in 1953. The small town with its beautiful old houses from the 18th and 19th centuries is known to celebrities and sailors. Many students live on the island due to the University of Economics and Musical Instrument Making. In the capital Argostoli is the University of Marine Biology and the Marine Academy. The island lives from shipping and fish farming (organic fish) and a manageable tourism. An exciting day trip destination is the neighboring island of Ithaca, the island of Odysseus. Eating out in Kefalonia: Influenced by the Venetian occupiers, Kefalonia's cuisine is strongly Italian-inspired with a little French cuisine. The numerous fish dishes, as well as the stockfish, are typical. The meat pie and the pligouri, a meat stew with barley. Typical cheese from Kefalonia is the "Kefalotiri", a kind of hard cheese, similar to the Italian peccorino. The soft, white almond nougat bars "Komfetto" are typical desserts. The fruity quality white wine "ROBOLA" from Kefalonia should not be missing on your table. What we noticed immediately: The island is very clean, the beaches are very well-kept. The picturesque capital Argostoli with its beautiful natural harbor. The clean waters of Kefalonia, no wonder that the turtle Caretta Caretta feels particularly at home here. The cafes full of young students from the various faculties. I would have liked study here too!
