Kefalonia is an island in the Ionian Sea, west of mainland Greece. It's marked by sandy coves and dry rugged landscapes. Its capital, Argostoli, is built on a hillside overlooking a narrow harbor. Kefalonia's indented coastline is made up of limestone cliffs, bays and short strips of white sand, like Myrtos Beach in the north. Many beaches are only accessible on foot or via narrow twisting roads.

"A lively, natural-wine-focused spot: Heteroclito. Perhaps it’s the glowing neon signs on the facade, or maybe it’s the perpetually crowded sidewalk cafe tables, but this corner space in Syntagma beckons with the promise of a good time. Organic, low-intervention wines produced with minimal sulfites dominate the list. Words like ‘pet-nat’ will jump out amongst the names of indigenous varieties. Sommeliers are happy to introduce you to their favorites; a Robola from Gentilini in Kefalonia, for example, is a saline-driven, high-acid white, and a refreshing counterpoint to summer’s heat. Food-wise, the menu leans snacky: meats, cheeses, and a limited number of small plates from nearby Levantine restaurant Feyrouz are available."
