1Kefalonia, Greece
Kefalonia is another Ionian island that seems to have an endless supply of spectacular scenery. Its mountains rise dramatically above the sea, while its coastline is dotted with beaches and secluded bays.
Myrtos Beach is the island’s most famous sight, with brilliant white pebbles and intensely blue water surrounded by steep green mountains. But Kefalonia has plenty more to discover, including the underground Melissani Cave and the colorful village of Assos.
Add excellent local food, charming seaside towns and a relaxed atmosphere, and Kefalonia becomes an easy choice for a Mediterranean escape.
Paradise factor: Dramatic mountains, dazzling beaches and hidden caves.
