Argostoli, Kefalonia
Argostoli wears Kefalonia’s crown – this south-west town is the island’s capital. You might notice this place is more modern than your typical Greek postcard scene – following an earthquake in 1953 the whole town had to be rebuilt. It’s also the proud filling of a nature sandwich – the town’s set between emerald-coloured mountains and a shallow lagoon. The waters are home to loggerhead turtles and loads of marine life. Plus, away from its promenade-lined harbour, there’s a shop-filled strip and a central square which comes alive in the evening.

AKUREYRI, Iceland amazing place
Nicknamed the "Capital of North Iceland", Akureyri is an important port and fishing centre. The area where Akureyri is located was settled in the 9th century, but did not receive a municipal charter until 1786.[2] Allied units were based in the town during World War II.

Still today Poros attracts many young couples and families with children from all Europe.

For who want to enjoy a beautiful view of the village, the coast and the sea we recommend going to see theMonastery of Atrouwhichis in the mountains just behind Poros; unfortunately the road is unpaved but the setting is beautiful.
In addition, just over a mile from Poros is an ancientMycenaean tombthat you can visit.
BEACH
Here in Poros there are two principles beaches. Both beaches have white small pebbles and an amazing and clean sea.
Poros has two bays, the first has an equipped port also used by ferries arriving from the mainland.
In the second one, which is smaller, there is a large square, a small dock and beach facilities for tourists.
Along the coast to the north, at the end of the town, there is a second much larger beach of white pebbles. This beach named Ragia is wilder, less wide and less crowded.
Very nice setting to have a wonderful sea in front and green mountains behind.
