The Katovothres sinkholes on the Lassi peninsula. This is a rare geological phenomenon, whereby large quantities of seawater enter the ground through a fissure, travelling to an unknown depth and range, ending up at Melissani Lake and Karavomylos on the other side of the island.
The Archaeological Museum, with exhibits dating from the island’s earliest known period of habitation, particularly the Mycenaean era.
The Korgialeneios Library, one of the largest in Greece, with 46,000 volumes. In the same building is a small concert room, the History and Folk Museum, and a collection of Byzantine Icons.
The Kefalonia and Ithaca Natural History Museum, founded in 1996 at Davgata.
Farsa Maritime Museum, founded in 1997. It houses naval archives and has on display a remarkable collection, including model ships, engravings, instruments, documents, photographs and ships logs.
The highest mountain in the Ionian is Mount Ainos, whose highest peak is 1628 metres above sea level. In its dense forest grows the unique fir Rabies cephalonica. In the mountain’s National Parkland lives a rare breed of wild horses that offer a unique sight to anyone who sees them galloping over its verdant slopes.
The restored Typaldos-Iakovatos family mansion is one of the few buildings in Lixouri to have survived the earthquake. It now houses a museum with a remarkable collection of Byzantine and post-Byzantine icons and handwritten religious texts from the 10th and 15th century, a Main Library, containing 7000 books, and an archaeological collection, with Classical and Hellenistic pottery.
