It's a picturesque village in a picturesque spot with wonderful views down to Aphales Bay and over the sea. The main church of Agia Marina is well worth a visit and there is a small cafe here and some rooms for rent.

The village is also noted for its three small pyramids built in 1933. The eccentric builder and his mother are buried under two of them.</cmt>

    <name>Frikes</name>
    <cmt>FRIKES is one of the major resorts in the north (if anything can be called such a thing on Ithaca), along with its neighbour Kioni just around the headland.

Though tarted up for tourists in recent years it manages to retain some Greek charm. Cafes and tavernas are strung around the dainty harbour with the sleepy village behind luxuriantly planted with bougainvillea and jasmine.

Feuding between local families adds a certain edge to village life where local festivals have been known to end in drink fuelled village punch-ups.

Ferries from Lefkas arrive in the morning and the village is briefly busy with the new arrivals before settling back to sleep. A one-way system prevents what little village traffic there is grinding to a halt.

This is a good base to explore the island with splendid walks through delightful countryside and various recently cleared trails along the coastline. Since a new jetty was built in 2000 it has grown in popularity.

The bay to the south offers a string of small coves and beaches, most of them easily accessible from the coast road though it can be a scramble to get to a couple of them. All are much the same - small pebble and stone coves with no facilities.</cmt>

    <cmt>Around 10 km south of Vathi is the ARETHOUSA SPRING, where the swineherd Eumaes supposedly brought his pigs to drink as told in The Odyssey. The landscape and sea views are breathtaking but the route is precipitous and you are not advised to walk alone. To get there follow the asphalt road out of Vathy that is signposted to the Marathis Plateau. At the village of Anemothouri, on the right, there is a large blue and white sign pointing to the Arethousa Fountain track. Follow the red waymarkers.

The scenery at the fountain is pretty impressive and a difficult rock-strewn descent down a ravine brings you to an unnamed beach opposite the islet of PERAPIGADIA. The spring itself is little more than a dribble and many may wonder at the effort taken to get there</cmt>

    <cmt>Drogarati cave is estimated to be 150 million years old 37 meters below ground. It is a very impressive cave with polychrome stalactites and stalagmites. The rocks are made from iron, chalk and limestone and that is why there are white and red coloured formations. Inside the temperature is always 18 degrees Celsius and there is plenty of oxygen.</cmt>

    <cmt>Spilaio Loizou
Located on the north side of the Polis Bay, this cave is thought to have been the centre for worships through early Greek civilization. Many clay vessels have been found, mostly Mycenaean. Although well signposted in Polis Bay on the North of the island, the ancient cave sanctuary is no longer visible since its final collapse in the 1953 earthquake. The British School at Athens excavated the site in the 1930s, all the finds from which are in the Stavros Museum. The excavations revealed that the site had accumulated some late Mycenaean and Early Protogeometric finds, however, from the 8th Century B.C. onwards, the cult continued without break into Roman Rule. The most significant finds were the fine Geometric bronze tripods dedicated there and a fragment of a locally made female theatrical mask dating from the 2 nd to the 3 rd Century B.C. Approximately one hundred were excavated, however, one fragment was inscribed with ‘Efhin Odyccei' and, in another direction, ‘O deina aneth I ken' meaning ‘Votive offering to Odysseus, so and so dedicated it.' The Polis Cave sanctuary was of significant importance judging by the finds excavated and it is reasonable to connect this importance with the Odyssey.</cmt>

    <cmt>Spilaio Nymfon
Above the beach at Dexa is the CAVE OF NYMPHS also known as MARMAROSPILIA. This is the cave where Odysseus is supposed to have hidden his treasure on his return from Troy. What treasures have been found are more of an archaeological nature and can be found in the museum in Vathy.

The cave is, well it's a cave, and has a hole in the roof and a clump of cypress at the entrance. What atmosphere it may have had has been lost in a blaze of tacky coloured lights. Some say this is not even the original cave anyway, the real one being inadvertently demolished in a nearby quarry some years ago. The route to the cave is well signposted from the road.</cmt>

    <cmt>The lake and cave of Melissani is a stunning cave of extreme archaeological and geological interest situated 2km from Sami. It is one of the most magical and significant places to visit in the whole of Greece. The cave is ‘B’ shaped with two chambers separated with land 40m wide, 36m high and 3.5m long. The water has a depth of 20 to 30 m and is a mixture of seawater and fresh water.  On the roof of one of the chambers is a big oval opening and when the sun is right above the rays hit the turquoise waters and the whole cave is lit with blue light creating a magical illusion. The second chamber is dark, with many stalactites lit with electric lights. The cave was used as a sanctuary of God Panas and excavations carried out in 1951 brought to light many artefacts dating back to 3rd and 4th century BC. Myth has it that the cave was named after the nymph Melissanthi who committed suicide because of her unreturned love for God Panas and the dolphins having been used by the nymph to deliver her messages turned into stone after her death. The stalactites inside the cave have the shape of dolphins. On the top of the cave a balcony has been placed so that visitors can see the cave from above. The cave of Melissani is an out of the world experience.</cmt>

    <name>Katavothres (mlin)</name>
    <cmt>Katavothres is a very rare and astonishing geological phenomenon unexplained for centuries 3km outside Argostoli. The phenomenon is that large amounts of seawater disappear in the site, through underwater tunnels pass at the bottom of the sea and the mountains and end up in the east part of the island. In 1963 a geologic team added purple dye in the water, followed its flow that reached the Melissani cave 15km away in a semi salted form in a trip of just two weeks. It is definitely a place that the visitor must see.</cmt>

    <cmt>KIONI is the premier resort on Ithaka and it shows. Its a picture postcard idea of a Greek island resort with smart houses and apartments climbing the hills around a secluded horseshoe bay.

Well-heeled holidaymakers parade around the harbour before setting into one of the waterside bars and tavernas. Cars are banned from the village over the summer.

It is so cute it could be cheesy but has somehow managed to marry authentic Greek charm to the demands of tourism. This comes at a price though and this is reflected in the costs of staying here and the big expensive yachts in the harbour trying to outdo each other in vulgarity.

For those that tire of sitting in the tavernas there are tiny coves at the mouth of the bay, windmills on the headland and old donkey trails to explore.

The town beach sits below the windmills, a steep, short and narrow bank of pebble and shingle with overhanging trees for shade at one end.

There is a cantina in high summer and takes 20 mins to walk (the narrow road is closed to traffic except out of season). Sun beds hadn't made an appearance when I was last there but it can't be too long</cmt>

The museum is open Monday to Saturday 09.00 - 14.00, closed on Sundays. Small entrance fee and a request not to wear beach clothes.</desc>

The rather scruffy mountain village of PERACHORI or PERAHORI sits above Vathy and is where most of the island's wine is produced.

Small tavernas open in summer although this is very much a working, not a tourist, village. A wander round will reveal the ruins of fortified houses that were once used by islanders to escape the eye of passing pirates.

Villagers have recently taken a lead in growing organic produce. Visitors get unobstructed views over the whole south of the island.</cmt>

    <cmt>You must travel to one of the northern tips of the island to find another beach, though you are unlikely to visit.

Dramatic white cliffs enclose the deep inlet at ASFALES which sits a few hundred feet below the village of Exoghi. Remote and relatively inaccessible it is rarely visited in the high season.

Those that go are rewarded with astonishing views on the descent. Arrival is less than stunning though as the north facing beach of stone and pebble tends to collect its fair share of litter and is shrouded by the surrounding cliffs and woods.

There are no facilities here.</cmt>

    <cmt>The resort of AGIOS IOANNIS looks spectacular from the cliffs above, with nearby Nicholaos completing the scene with an old windmill for romantic effect.

Getting down to the beach is a problem, particularly if you make the mistake of trying to make the descent before reaching the village of Lefki. There is dirt track before then but it is a precipitous drop and you will never get back up in a car.

Even the road from Lefki is difficult with hairpin turns on a steep track that ends about 100m from the beach. A steeper path then leads down past the windmill.

The beach is a long narrow strip of pebble and stone with fine views across the straits but there is no shade and no facilities.</cmt>

    <name>Plaža Filiatro</name>
    <cmt>No problem with shade on the east facing bay of FILIATRO where there is an extremely pretty beach of pebble and stone serviced by a summer cantina.

The water is shallow in the enclosed bay, making for an nice warm dip if you fancy it though footwear is recommended as there is no sand underfoot.

Car access has no problems - just follow the road east out of Vathy for about 20min until you reach the bay. Olive trees and tamarisk provide shade and the back of the beach where there is also some camping.

When I was last there in high summer there were pedaloes for hire but no sun beds. Despite the lack of the latter the beach was still very busy.</cmt>

    <cmt>Marmaka
The stone beach at MARMAKES is around 4km over the headland from Asfales and can be reached by a dirt track but it is a brave driver that tries it.

Sheer drops to the sea along narrow unfenced and crumbling dirt tracks are for the suicidal only. You really need a boat or strong legs for the goat track from Frikes, two good reasons why it is usually deserted.

That said there are moves afoot to improve the road which may open it up to more visitors. The stone beach is very attractive with an offshore islet sporting a tiny chapel to add to the romantic setting.

Trees line the shore and there are walks through the groves of olive and fruit behind. There are no facilities here</cmt>

    <cmt>Sarakiniko
The SARAKINIKO bay gives it name to a couple of shingle beaches that are separated by a rock outcrop into the sea.

One of the beaches is dominated by an ugly cement villa that reminds us of the Greek love affair with the concrete mixer. This beach is also used to launch boats from a slipway and serious bits of boat rubbish is strewn around.

Sarakiniko is a quite attractive beach in a sheltered bay, though most visitors are merely passing by on their way to the better beach at Filiatro.

There is plenty of shade from olives and cypress but there are no facilities here. If you get fed up of sunbathing on the pebbles there are sandstone slabs nearby.

There was once a German 'commune' here than numbered about 200 people but only a handful live there now.</cmt>

    <cmt>Skinos
On the headland east of Dexa is the long and narrow beach of SKINOS, set in very attractive countryside that is dotted with some very exclusive villa properties.

The beach is approached down a dirt track and is all pebbles and stone, some of it none too clean as, like Dexa, it seems to attract tidal rubbish. Being more isolated than Dexa it doesn't get cleaned as often.

That said, there is decent snorkeling to be had along the rocky shore. This is a pleasant place to hide away from the crowds with plenty of shade from tall cypress trees along the shoreline.

Again, like Dexa, it suffers from a late afternoon in shadow and there are no facilities here.</cmt>

    <cmt>The British Cemetary is situated at the north end of the Drapano bridge on the road to Lixouri outside of Argostoli.

A former British army officer, Roy Harrison, moved to Kefalonia in 1997 and the following year he was offered a contract by the War Graves Commission to care for the cemetery.</cmt>

    <cmt>POLIS is the only west coast resort on Ithaca that could reasonably be called popular with tourists.

A medium sized bay of white limestone and shingle has a small harbour at one end with a taverna nestling beneath the eucalyptus trees.

It sits below the main northern town of Stavros and, with parking on the beach, sun beds, umbrellas and the taverna it can be a popular, crowded place in the summer.

Land behind the beach itself is flat scrubland so there is little in the way of shade unless you retire to the taverna or sit on the harbour wall, although there aew a few tamarisks along the back of the beach.

There is a small harbour at the southern end and boat trips also leave here for Fiskardo on Kefalonia and around Ithaca itself. It was a port for ferries until the expansion at Piso Aetos, just down the coast.

At the north end of the bay was once the Lozios Cave where important religious artefacts were unearthed but earthquakes have reclaimed it and the cave has collapsed.</cmt>

The Monastery and Church of Agios Gerasimos is on the top of the Omala valley near the villages of Fragata and Valsamata. Agios Gerasimos was a monk and arrived in Kefalonia in 1555. He lived in a cave and he was known as a teacher and a healer. He died in 1579 and his relics are kept in a glass relic case which is placed above the saint’s tomb. The church is built above his tomb and the cave where he lived and prayed. Some plane trees were planted by the Saint which is still preserved in the monastery. A new impressive church was completed in 1992 within the monastery. On the 16th of August and the 20th of October a procession takes place and the Saint’s remains brought out and placed under the plane trees he planted himself. The procession is followed by a feast with music, dances and food.</cmt>

Med italijanskimi vojaki, ki so v drugi svetovni vojni vkorakali v Grčijo, je bilo nemalo tudi naših slovenskih rojakov s Primorske. Predvsem so bili v ka­zenskih četah. Glede na to, da so ob kapitulaciji Italije številni iskali stike z grškim odporniškim gibanjem in se mu skušali pridružiti, si pred tem gotovo niso umazali rok s krvjo. Septembra 1943 so na Kefaloniji ustanovili celo partizansko četo Primorje, ki je kasneje prešla v ELAS. Nekateri slovenski protifašistični borci so potem prešli iz Grčije k makedonskim partizanom in se kasneje vpletli tudi v grško državljansko vojno. Leta 2002 so prekomorci na Kefaloniji postavili celo spominsko obeležje na svoje tamkajšnje bivanje oziroma čakanje na vklju­čitev v partizanske enote.</cmt>

    <cmt>Inland from Polis and overlooking the bay is STAVROS, the capital village north Ithaca at the foot of Mt Neritos.

Stavros, which means crossroads, also envelops the hamlets of Pilicata and Kalyvia. It acted as a chora in the 16th to avoid pirate attacks.

Worth seeing are the fine churches of Sotiris, Agia Varvara and Zoodochos Pigi. A stern and imposing bust of Odysseus stands in the central platia and there a few traditional houses that survived the 1953 earthquake.

There are several tavernas, cafes and a mini-market. Excavations from the Loizos cave used as a temple are displayed in the tiny archaeological museum. The museum contains various finds from Ithaca, from the Early Helladic periods to the Roman.</cmt>

    <name>Vathy</name>
    <cmt>The south of the island is empty but for a few Homeric sites and the main port of VATHY or VATHI. The port has one of the most idyllic seafront settings in Greece, nestled at the end of a long, deep bay and embraced by mountains.

The wooded islet of Lazaretto sits in the bay where a quarantine station was built in 1668. It was converted to a prison in 1864 and demolished by the earthquake in 1953. All that remains are trees and a picturesque, whitewashed church.

Unfortunately the idyll ends as you step ashore onto an unprepossessing quayside lined with functionally bland buildings that owe something to pre-quake architecture, but not much.

A preservation order in 1978 prevented unsightly building and protected the town from naked commercial development but the results are nothing to send postcards home about.

The utilitarian view is not enhanced by a large car park and some seedy looking tavernas on the quayside.

There is also a small and dull archaeological museum that appears to survive only on daily diet of whistle-stop tour visitors. The best of the island treasures were carted off to Athens or looted by European archaeologists long ago.

The Folklore and Cultural Museum of Ithaca is behind the Agricultural Bank and has exhibits of island life as well as photographs of the devastating earthquake of 1953.

The poor state of island roads makes Vathi the best base for exploring by boat although there are several out-of-town walks to sites that claim a mention in the Odyssey.

Vathy is where most island amenities are found - post office, bank, cash machine, bakery, mini markets, travel agents and shops. Ferries leave here for mainland Greece, Kefalonia, Corfu and Italy and boats offer many trips around the island and to neighbouring Kefalonia.</cmt>

    <cmt>Fiscardo Bay ( Cephalonia ) 

A short walk along path away from the bay. 

This cache is in the stunning bay of Fiscardo. Many people visit Fiscardo either by boat,coach,actually stay here or come to visit for the day from another part of the Island. 

This cache is located away from the main bay on the opposite side so you have the view of Fiscardo bay itself. You get to it by heading towards Nicholas Taverna.Go past the taverna and you will see a footpath.The footpath will take you to the new and old lighthouses.Stunning views.

It is a small container that holds a log book and pen.It will have room for small travel bugs but no swaps. It has a lucky Cornishpixie for the person who is first to find.

Small note on cache maintenance: There is a local "cache guardian". Name and contact info on file with geocaching.com.

Near a tall fir tree on right of path under a neat pile of stones.</cmt>

    <cmt>Captain Corelli's Mandolin in Sami Kefalonia 

The first cache on the island Kefalonia

Who doesn't know the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin with the great actors Nicolas Cage, Penélope Cruz, John Hurt, Christian Bale, David Morrissey and Irene Pappas? It was produced on theisland Kefalonia. Lots of tourists visit the area of left village,that was used as a set for the movie. It's high time to set a cache in Kefalonia, so what's better than to use this historical place for the cache? Watch the movie, visit this beautiful island andfind the cache.

    <desc>Captain Corelli's Mandolin in Sami Kefalonia 

The first cache on the island Kefalonia

Who doesn't know the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin with the great actors Nicolas Cage, Penélope Cruz, John Hurt, Christian Bale, David Morrissey and Irene Pappas? It was produced on theisland Kefalonia. Lots of tourists visit the area of left village,that was used as a set for the movie. It's high time to set a cache in Kefalonia, so what's better than to use this historical place for the cache? Watch the movie, visit this beautiful island andfind the cache. Have fun looking for the cache.

    <cmt>The Cyclopean Walls were created somewhere between the 7th and 6th century BC three kilometres east of Argostoli where ancient Krani used to be. These walls were perfectly aligned and due to the big size of the rocks were called Cyclopean. Legend has it that they were built by the one-eyed giants the Cyclops. Unfortunately the walls are in a bad shape today by many elements but a large section of the walls still remain. The Cyclopean Walls are a good example of ancient Greek art of fortifications and a great site of the visitors of the island.</cmt>

    <cmt>gnezda na plaži Mounda.
http://www.kateliosgroup.org/mounda.htm

Mounda Beach is the main sea turtle nesting beach on Kefalonia
It is so popular among turtles for the same reasons why it is among tourists. The beach has a gentle incline. This means that turtles do not use too much energy before they lay their nests. The water is very shallow, which means that it is easier for the turtle to survey the beach horizon making sure that it is safe from predators before emergence. Finally it is not very developed yet along the 2.8 km stretch of beach. The main concern for the future is that tourist development will stretch further along the beach. With the increase in development other associated problems occur: sunbeds, watersports, lights, litter and increased beach usage, all of which have a detrimental impact on the nesting habitat.</cmt>
