Kefalonia

There are islands where you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Kefalonia is just such an island. There's no rush, no hustle and bustle, but there are mountains, sea, and evenings when it seems like the crickets are singing just for you. In Kastro, on a hillside in the shadow of St. George's Castle, I found Angel Pools Villa —a house that feels like a step back in time. The stone walls, rebuilt after the great earthquake of 1953, preserve a cool and peaceful atmosphere.
