St Georges, Cephalonia

This beautiful area offers some of the best panoramic views to be seen in Cephalonia. At its heart is the Castle of St George set 320 metres above sea level and the islands capital and seat of government until 1757. The tiny village known as Kastro at the foot of the castle has narrow streets and remains of pre-earthquake houses can still to be seen; 15,000 people once lived clustered around the castle which offered protection from marauding pirates. Panoramic vistas take in the capital of Argostoli, the monastery of Saint Andreas, lovely views of Mount Ainos and coastal views in the south.

Spectacular scenery and lovely villages abound; there is much to explore here - The Ainos National Park is a must; the important monasteries of St Andreas and St Gerasimos housing some of the islands most precious artefacts are close by; the glorious sandy beaches along the southern coast are a short drive away and the Museum of Natural History is in the village of Davgata should not be missed. The area is the most important wine growing region on the island and famous for it's internationally acclaimed wines.
