  • KefaloniaHaving always wanted to go here, my boyfriend surprised me with day flights! Obviously a day isn't quite long enough to search for Captain Corelli's Mandolin but you do get to see some of the beauty here.

  • Pantocrator MountainAbsolutely stunning views from the top here. I would advise doing it in the early morning before it gets too hot as it gets quite steep! Definitely worth making the effort.
