The 9 Best Ancient Ruins in Cephalonia, Ionian Islands

November 28, 2021 Flossie Demartino

The sapphire waters of Cephalonia are steeped with history. The large Greek island was home to Odysseus, the legendary king hailed in Homer’s The Odyssey. Fortunately, it won’t take you ten years to get there. Explore the enchanting caverns of the Drogarati caves, sail to Ithaca on a glass-bottomed boat or marvel at the ancient artifacts inside the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, Cephalonia’s main town. Or just hide from it all at one of the island’s many private beach coves.

Old Vlachata

Reviewed By sierraromeobravo

Amazing place with a gloomy feel. The abandon village is worth a visit and had great photography opportunities and knowing the history of the village makes you appropriate the atmosphere of the place.

Sami Acropolis

Reviewed By Barbs25 - Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Yes as the other reviews says the ‘acropolis’ is now a pile of rubble but it’s so worth it for the amazing views. You can park easily along the road then it’s a rocky path to the top only taking 10 minutes (lose rocks so trainers best) then head right through the rubble for the most amazing views over Sami and the coast line, really beautiful.
