Greek island of Kefalonia crowned ‘best place’ to visit this summer

·

While the beauty of Mykonos, Santorini, Paros and Crete is undeniable, the Greek island of Kefalonia has emerged as the new ‘best place’ to visit this summer.

According to a UK travel magazine, Which?, Kefalonia’s “rugged beauty” and “peace and quiet” won the hearts of 1,000 voters.

The villages of Mousata, Trapezaki, Afrato and Lourdata, alongside the sweeping views of the Ionian Sea, were the most favourable.

The Melissani caves and Cycladic architecture also captured voters as it differs from the traditional white-painted houses and flat beaches of other Greek islands.
