According to the locals, this king founded the four main cities of the island which were Sami, Pahli, Krani and Pronnoi, named after his sons. This explains why the island was called Tetrapolis (Four Towns) during this period. Those four cities were autonomous and independent and they had their own regimes and coins. All cities were built for strategic and agricultural reasons. If you are interested in Kefalonia's history you can visit the Kefalonian history page on this site. When visiting Kefalonia you can imagine how it must have been like many centuries ago, since not a lot has changed on most parts of the island. This is how Louis de Bernieres found his inspiration to write his famous novel 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin', which has also been filmed in Kefalonia in the summer of 2000.Kefalonia (Cephalonia) is therefore the perfect holiday destination for single, couples, families and for the newly wed on their honeymoon. Having experienced the beautiful surroundings, the lovely climate and the traditional Kefalonian hospitality, it will make this idyllic island difficult to depart from. Most visitors that have been to Kefalonia (Cephalonia) once, have returned many times throughout the years, simply because there are very few places in the world left like this picturesque and hospitable island.Kefalonia is spelled differently by most people. The main cause of this is that Kefalonia has had many different conquerors in its past. The most common way of spelling the island the last years is Kefalonia although the Greeks themselves spell it often with two l's. Kefalonia, which is part of the 'Eptanisa' (Seven Islands), or commonly known as the Ionian Islands is situated about 30 miles off the west coast of mainland Greece. Kefalonia's beautiful sceneries are simply breathtaking. From the green mountains and their beautiful valleys to the idyllic bays and their beaches, you will experience a feeling of serenity that is very hard to find nowadays. Kefalonia is still virtually untouched by mass-tourism, which has altered many other tourist destinations around the world. All the bays and beaches on Kefalonia have their own distinct beauty. Some have rough barren terrain and cliffs behind them and others have olive trees as far as the eye can reach. The most beautiful beach and most photographed on Kefalonia is undoubtedly Myrtos Beach which is shown here on the right and on top of this page. Flanked by white limestone cliffs and carpeted in white sand, Myrtos beach is consistently voted by travel magazines as one of the most beautiful in the world and has won many awards throughout the years for its beauty. Locally in Greece, it has been voted the number one most beautiful Greek beach throughout the last decade.
