Kefalonia

Kefalonia is the Ionian at its most dramatic — pine-covered mountains dropping straight into the sea, and a coastline that changes character every few kilometres. Myrtos Beach is the one everyone comes for, a sweep of white pebble framed by sheer cliffs that photographs like nowhere else. Inland, the Melissani Cave hides an underground lake where midday sunlight pours through a collapsed roof and turns the water electric blue. Up north, Fiskardo is all Venetian-coloured facades and waterfront fish restaurants where you eat dorado pulled from the harbour that morning. Stop in Assos — a tiny village on its own peninsula — for a glass of local Robola wine and the kind of quiet that makes you forget your phone exists. The coast around the island is full of coves and inlets that only make sense from the water, and most of them will be just yours.
