Upon your arrival, one of our representatives will be waiting for you to welcome you, transfer you to the hotel and explain the island a little more.
Kefalonia is referred to by Homer as Same or Samos, a name that derives from Cephalus who became master of the island helped by Host. However, Herodotus is the first to call the island Kefalonia. Kefalonia also preserves the ruins of a Roman city in Cape Escala, to the southeast, probably built in the 1st century and called Cephalenia.
Nowadays it has the Castle of Saint George next to the Livadho plain. To the north you can find remains of a fortress called Asso, which may be the ancient Nesus.
The rest of the day will be free to relax and discover Kefalonia at your own pace. One of the most famous islands of the Ionian archipelago with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Greca Tip: Have a Kreatopita as a welcome treat. Kreatopita is a mixed meat pie (pork, mutton and beef) wrapped in a dough with onions, garlic, potatoes, rice, spices and tomato. You can find it in any tavern or restaurant.
Day at leisure to enjoy this magnificent island, also known as "Cefalonia." Far from the concept of arid landscape that prevails on other islands, here the green, the cliffs, and the long beaches of golden sand prevail.
Among its main attractions are the charming town of Fiskardo, Mirtos Beach, as well as the mysterious cave of Melissani. The proximity of Kefalonia to the world-famous island of Ithaka, mentioned by Homer in his heroic poem Odyssey, offers a great opportunity for an exciting day trip.
Greca Tip: Kefalonia produces yellow and feta cheeses, olive oil, honey, and local meats. It is also home to the crisp and fruity Robola wine and numerous delicious local dishes, such as bakaliaropita (cod pie), bourbourelia (soup of mixed beans), and rabbit stew.
At the indicated time, one of our vehicles will drive you to Kefalonia Airport where you will check-in your luggage and, if necessary, process any tax refunds on products of the type "tax-free" that you have purchased.
From all of us at Greca we hope to see you again to enjoy some wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory.
Have a nice trip! Or as Greeks say: "Kaló taksídi!".
Greca Tip: As a going away gift you can buy olive oil, honey and for those with a sweet tooth mandoles (almonds assorted with sugar) and pastokydono (a sweet made of quince puree).
