Lassi for history buffs

Kefalonia has been inhabited since the Palaeolithic period. Unfortunately, the great earthquake of 1953 destroyed a significant portion of the island's historical culture. Nevertheless, the Korgialenio Historical Museum is a must-see for history buffs and includes a reading room in the library. Located in Argostoli, Kefalonia's capital, which borders Lassi, this museum houses 3,000 artefacts, including folklore and art, on the ground floor of the Korgialenio library. Discover many of the anecdotes from the invasions of Rome, Venice and the Ottomans. Traipse around the island to check out the castles for a personal encounter with this ancient history. The historic attractions are within a walking distance of your holiday rental in Kefalonia.

Be sure to try the artichoke, meat, hake and cheese pies for an unrivalled culture encounter. Rabbit or goat in red sauce with veggies is highly acclaimed, as well as wild duck in wine or roasted goose for tasty choices. Sweet treats include baklava, caramelised almonds known as mandola, and pastokidono, a quince-filled pastry. Kefalonia's cheeses are a delectable adventure and a visit to Pylaros will spoil you with amazing choices. From herbs and honey to wine and bread, this island has the ultimate culinary experience.
