Picture of bridge, now paved and pedestrianised, stretching across the lagoon. At the bend in the bridge is an obelisk and the bay beyond surrounded by hills. In the distance is a departing cruise ship.

Loggerhead turtle swimming in the sea, its head just visible above the water.

In honour of #StGeorgesDay, the #StGeorge #kastro #castle #Kefalonia. First fortified by the Byzantines and then the Venetians, it was the island's social and administrative centre until the capital was moved to #Argostoli. From its elevated position, it dominates the south area.

Drapano Bridge #Kefalonia. Built by the Swiss engineer Du Bosset in 1813, it straddles the Koutavos Lagoon, linking #Argostoli with the small village of Drapano. Apparently the world's longest stone bridge over sea water.

The #Lighthouse of St. Theodoros, #Argostoli #Kefalonia. It was built by Charles Napier, the then British governor. His building program on the island was deeply unpopular drawing on conscripted labour. The building is now one of the most recognisable on the island.
