|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.

|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.

|Antisamos|.

📍Antisamos Beach is arguably one of the most favorable destinations for swimming and sunbathing in Kefalonia. It is located 30.6 km east from Argostoli and pretty close to the port of Sami. Antisamos distinguishes for its natural beauty that consists of turquoise waters and a marvelous surrounding of green hills and lush vegetation on top of it.

⛱ A beach like this could be nothing but well-organized with umbrellas and sundecks. It is this stunning scenery that characterizes this area and captivates all visitors. Antisamos has gained a worldwide reputation from the Hollywood movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin, where some of the scenes were filmed there. It is easily accessed from a coastal road in Sami.

🌊 Behind the hill, there is a great spot for sunbathers and nature lovers. Apart from the beach that is considered a beautiful sightseeing itself, the monastery of Agrillion stands on top of the hill and is worth visiting.

🍹 is a fine choice to relax by the beach.
