Travel // Kefalonia Photo Diary Pt 1

I apologise in advance as this will be a very photo heavy post! A couple of weeks ago I headed to Kefalonia with my University friends Leah & Rachel and my boyfriend John for a relaxing week in the sun full of wine, sunbathing and lots of delicious Greek food. If you are unfamiliar with Kefalonia, it is an island off the west coast of Greece that has the most breathtaking scenery with a mountainous landscape and some of the most stunning white pebble beaches. Compared to other Greek islands, it is a lot less touristy; it's not the place to come if you are looking for a party destination, but it's perfect for an laid back week in the Grecian sun where you can discover and explore what the island has to offer or relax to your heart's content.

Even though our room was the most basic available, it was more than big enough for me and John! The bed probably could have fit 3-4 people comfortably, you could stretch your arm out and not reach the other. The view was incredible, our balcony overlooked the lagoon which is where the sun  set and it was absolutely breathtaking. The beach was a stone's throw away; it was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, pure white sand and the bluest ocean I had ever seen, it was absolutely gorgeous, if a little wavy!
