Boats that sail right into blue grottos, secluded coves where the sea shimmers in every conceivable shade of green, turquoise and blue, white cliffs that plunge almost vertically into the sea and olive groves that sweep right to the coast. Picturesque villages, ancient castles, stunning beaches: Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Ithaca and Lefkas seem to have been made for holidays. Beautiful whitewashed towns invite you to stroll and narrow, winding roads take you on island expeditions. Two national parks await exploration, old monasteries sit languidly and wine estates invite you for tastings and the sun shines almost every day during summer... This is Zakynthos and Kefalonia!
