If you are searching for the best place to enjoy Greek holidays this summer, the stunning island of Kefalonia is a perfect choice. The largest out of all the islands in the Ionian set, the island offers a lookback at the traditional life led by Greek fishermen and is a relaxing holiday destination for any travellers. Couples looking at Greek island holidays may find that what Kefalonia has to offer particularly suits them. Unlike its livelier Greek neighbours - islands including Corfu and Zakynthos - Kefalonia is all about secluded beauty and chilling out. It is here you will find white sandy beaches, crystal blue waters and quiet tavernas run by the same family for generations - all ideal for those taking a romantic break for two. If you fancy a day or two of something a little more energetic, then why not take a walk into the island's mountains? This is a great way to see the island from another perspective and could also give you the chance to see olive and lemon groves on the side of the peaks. If you are on your Greek holiday at the right time of the year, you could even see people working in the fields, collecting the delicious produce. For a day trip, the picturesque fishing village of Fiscardo, on the island's northern tip, is a beautiful spot. Walk around the harbour as the boats come in for a look at the traditional life of many of the island's inhabitants and hunt down the best fish restaurant to sample the day's catch. For a faster pace of life, the towns of Argostoli - the island's capital - and Lixouri are full of all you would expect in bustling areas - shops, great restaurants and bars. These towns are located on opposite sides of the strait and there is a regular ferry that can easily take you between the two. Other popular activities on Kefalonia could include hiring a boat and exploring all its secluded beaches, or a day relaxing on the sand with a great book and a cocktail.
