December in Kefalonia reveals a different kind of magic.

At the port of Argostoli, the horizon disappears into a wild, restless sea. The wind tears across the water, the rain sweeps through the bay, and the island wears its winter veil — raw, dramatic, and strikingly beautiful.

It’s a side of Kefalonia many never witness. Those who live here feel it in the air; those far away see only a glimpse through a screen.
But this is also Kefalonia: an island of contrasts, where even the stormiest days carry their own quiet, untamed charm.

Autumn strolls - November touch 🍂

📖 History:

De Bosset Bridge is not only a striking piece of architecture in Argostoli, but it also holds a world record as the longest stone bridge over the sea! Originally built in 1813, this impressive structure stretches nearly 700 meters across the bay, offering stunning views of both the town and the serene waters below. Whether you're exploring Kefalonia’s history or simply enjoying a quiet walk surrounded by nature, the bridge is a must-visit. Come for the view, stay for the beauty of this island’s heritage!

|Wildlife|.

There’s a seagull that has become something of a local celebrity here at
Patisserie in Fiskardo. Always perched by the waterfront, he’s so used to people that he feels almost like a resident pet—fed daily by visitors and the owner himself.

One morning, while we were having our coffee, we watched him dive right in front of us and catch an octopus straight from the sea. A wild, breathtaking moment—raw nature unfolding in the calm of the harbor. It felt like something out of , and by pure luck, we were there to capture it.

|The Wreck|.

HMS Perseus — more than a wreck: a legacy under siege

Perseus — once an imposing instrument of war in WWII — now lies in silence, gradually yielding to the forces of nature and the cruelty of neglect.
The images you see here were captured by diver ( - Μάκης Σωτηρόπουλος), whose skill has frozen the wreck’s slow decay in evocative, haunting detail.

After her fateful collision with a mine off Cephalonia on the night of 6 December 1941, the submarine’s bow was utterly destroyed, and key superstructures were torn away. The sea now claims her: nets dragged by trawlers, cables, and lost gear tear relentlessly at her steel frame. Everywhere lie twisted shards of metal — brutal scars of human intrusion on a war grave. If this assault continues unabated, soon the bones of the valiant crew may lie exposed among the wreckage.

Yet Perseus is far more than rusted steel. It is a timeless tomb, a monument to those 60 souls who perished that night. Its only living legacy is the astonishing survival of John Capes — a lone man who refused to vanish beneath the waves.

Let none treat this site as just another dive target. It demands our respect, our vigilance, and our refusal to let its remnants be ravaged by illegal fishing, ghost nets, and careless destruction.

|September|.

September is when the Ionian truly shines. The seas are still warm, the winds are gentle, and the summer frenzy has calmed down. It’s a month of serenity, where sailors and travelers alike choose to explore our islands at their most authentic. From Kefalonia to the rest of the Ionian, September sailing is not just a journey — it’s an experience of pure freedom.

|The Dormition of the Virgin Mary|.

✝️ Every August 15th, Greece celebrates the Dormition of the Theotokos—known as the “Pascha of the summer."” It’s a day when churches fill with prayers, bells ring across the land, and faith meets tradition in the heart of summer.

Miracle in Kefalonia
⛪️ In the quiet village of Markopoulo, something extraordinary happens each year. From August 6th, tiny harmless snakes—marked with delicate crosses on their heads—appear at the Church of Panagia Fidousa. They move gently among the icons, unafraid of the people who come to see them.

The Legend
🐍 Locals tell of a time when pirates threatened the monastery. The Virgin, answering the nuns’ prayers, sent snakes to protect it. In another version, the nuns themselves became snakes to escape harm.

Beliefs & Omens
🕯 For the faithful, their arrival is a blessing, a sign of protection, and good fortune. In years when they did not appear—like 1940 and 1953—disaster followed, deepening the mystery.

Pilgrimage Days
⛪️ From August 13th to 15th, the church doors open to streams of pilgrims. They come to venerate the icon, witness the miracle, and feel that quiet moment where faith, folklore, and wonder meet under the summer sun.

🙏 Chronia Polla & Kali Panagia to everyone.
