Beaches Of Lassi

Kefalonia is situated on the west side of the Greek mainland. There are so many different ways of spelling Kefalonia and some of these ways include Cephallonia, Kefallonia and Cephalonia. The island itself is said to be named after Cephalus, who was an individual from Greek Mythology and was the founding head of a great family.

Kefalonia is an island with deep caves, blue seas and spectacular mountain ranges. It is also immersed in history. All the Ionian Islands which included Kefalonia were united back with Greece in 1864 after spending hundreds of years being passed from diverse leaderships such as Roman ruling and Norman ruling.

The earthquake ruined a great quantity of structures and resulted in billions of drachmas in damages, and at least 80% of the 125,000 strong population decided to leave the island for a fresh start on other nearby islands. There are remarkable signs still on the island such as ruined buildings that have been left untouched as a monument to the 1953 disaster.
