Monastery of St. Gerasimos
Saint Gerasim, the patron saint of Kefalonia, moved here from the noisier Zakynthos in 1555, seeking peace and quiet. A scion of a noble Byzantine family, Gerasim took vows on Mount Athos and then served in the Jerusalem Church of the Resurrection of Christ.
Enos National Park
Despite the fact that Kefalonia is a small island, the national park here occupies a fairly large area. This is due to the fact that most of the island’s area is a mountain of the same name, high enough for such a baby.
Drogarati Cave
The limestone cave of Drogarati is located three kilometers from the city of Sami and is located about 120 meters above sea level. The age of the cave is difficult to determine, but it is estimated to be about a hundred million years old. About 300 years ago, as a result of an earthquake, part of the wall collapsed, opening a passage inside.
Melissani Cave
Melissani, which is called the “Cave of the Nymphs” for increased tourist attraction, is located near Karavomilos, about two kilometers from the city of Sami. It will take you about twenty minutes to get here from Argostoli. Melissani is a karst cave, carved by water in limestone rock for tens of thousands of years.
