Argostoli, Greece


Drogarti Cave


The Island of Cephalonia is one of the most beautiful destinations in Greece. It is the resting place of Odysseus from Homer's "Illiad and Odyssey", and it is the setting for the movie "Captain Corelli's Mandolin". We went to the mythological Melissanni Lake (La Grota della Nimfe) and Drogarati Cave. The caves have amazing acoustics, and the hold concerts in them during the year. After a few tries we found a place that would rent us a car with our American licenses and we drove around the island. While in Argostoli we had the most amazing Gyro!!! It was the best food during our entire trip. When we returned our mini car Staci asked the lady where we should go for a gyro--pronounced Yeeroe--not Euro--She sent us to a little hole in the wall that had the best food ever. They put french fries in gyros---I am still mad that I only ate one.
