A magical natural wonder on Kefallonia Island

November 11, 2014March 8, 20151 Comment

This stunning place is called Melissani Cave found at the east of Kefallonia Island. It is an ideal place to escape from the summer heat, although swimming in the lake is forbidden. The top part of the cave collapsed some years ago, and the daylight that passes through brings some exceptional colours and effects in the turqoise water.

Sailing the Ionian Greek islands

Sailing the Ionian Greek island This video about sailing was made by Ryan Clark as a birthday present to his granddad, the skipper of their sailing trip to the Ionian Greek islands (νησιά Ιονίου) of Kefallonia (Κεφαλονιά) and Ithaca (Ιθάκη). Definitely one of the best videos we have seen about Greece, its pure beauty and its colours. The music is also perfect, as a cinematic effect. Once you start watching it you will get that nostalgic feeling when summer holidays are over. Winner of “Vimeo Staff Pick” December 2014
