Kefalonia or Cephalonia or formerly Keffalina is an oddly shaped puzzle piece floating in the Ionian sea in Western Greece. Of the seven islands that make up the Ionian region, Kefalonia is the largest, and actually the 6th largest island in Greece, with a surface area of over 780km squared. It has a population of just 40,000, with much of it's mountainous terrain being uninhabited as well as a large departure of inhabitants post the 1953 earthquake. The mountains of Kefalonia along with its coves created from its awkward shape make it one simply stunning place to holiday and a puzzle piece of my bucket list I didn't know was missing.
