The holiday started slightly ominously with one of those annoying arguments where you're told off by your wife for something they think you haven't done, you feel innocent of the charge but for whatever reason you can't be bothered arguing about it but go into a 24 hour huff as a precaution. Considering we only had a couple of hours sleep as we had to be up at 2.30am to catch the flight, that, added to the above non-argument, meant we were both knackered and slept most of the first day, the rest of the day was spent largely in a huffy silence. Fortunately the sun, beauty, and charm of the glorious island of Kefalonia melted us into a more average way of relating and soon we were doing all sorts of holiday related activities.

Thursday 27th November, 2008 continued We lazed around for most of the morning. The sun comes up slightly to the back of the studios and moves round, to shine on our balcony for the rest of the day. It was about 11 o'clock, when the sun was on it enough to sit out, which we did and our clock thermometer said the temperature in the sun was 31°C. It is just truly wonderful to feel the sun on your body, admittedly not hot, but you can feel some heat in it. We slowly got ready to go out and left about twelve thirty. We headed down the road to the left as you leave, that route that we had not been on yet. This is the other side of the long narrow hill that has Argostoli ... read more

033 - Greece - Kefalonia 10/15/08 - 10/21/08 Ionian Islandry We like Greek islands. And, compared to the hustle of big city life in Athens, we really like Greek islands. It all started as we hopped off the ferry onto Ithaki, Homer's (as in the Iliad and the Odyssey, not the Simpsons!) home in the Ionian Sea. Unlike most ports, however, there was hardly anyone there! No buses, no taxis, nothing. Just me and Hannah, and Yiayia, who wanted to come along to see Ithaki and her friends in Kefalonia during the Saint Gerasimo festival on October 20th. Luckily, there was a friendly old lady selling coffee at a stand that agreed to call a taxi to come pick us up. While waiting, we started off a conversation and I realized how friendly the people of ... read more

One of my favorite places in the world is the island Kefalonia in Greece. It is on the West side of Greece, three hours by boat away from Patras, half an hour away from Ithaka (swimming...), in the Ionian See. My husband, my daughter and I , we spent an excellent honey-moon in Fiskardo, the most beautiful village on Kefalonia!! We also visited Ithaka! Well it was not the first time (Natali is visiting Kefalonia since 1996), but it was as beautiful as always! ... read more

As you see, we sure loved the food. Eat in much. Oh yes, but we also loved to eat out as well.... read more
