The Greek island of Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands in western Greece.
It is also known as Cephallonia, Cephallenia, Cephalonia, Kefallinia and Kefallonia, having evolved its name through Ancient Greek, Modern Greek and Italian influences.
Most visitors to the Greek island of Kefalonia stay in or around Lassi, a delightful holiday resort just a few kilometres from Argostoli, and in the villages of Skala and Katelios.
The popularity of holidays in Kefalonia has increased as the 2001 Hollywood blockbuster Captain Corelli's Mandolin was filmed on the island. Kefalonia is a popular holiday destination for people from all over Greece (and indeed the world), however many tourists come from Italy mostly due to its close proximity.
