From Lefkada we boarded an early morning ferry to Kefalonia, arriving in Fiskardo on the northern tip of the island. Kefalonia is posh. Beautiful, but not wild and ramshackle like Lefkada had been. There is a lot of tourism here and a lot of rich people, which means that towns are clean and beautifully restored… lovely for photos but lacking just a little bit in soul. We were also unceremoniously chased off of Myrtos beach halfway through cooking our supper as apparently campers are not allowed to overnight there. Since it is not illegal to park and sleep on public land in Greece and we had never had issues with this anywhere in the country before, it was a bit of an unexpected shock and again a sign of the wealthy attitude that we hadn’t encountered elsewhere (and didn’t encounter again anywhere else in Greece) So Kefalonia, while beautiful, didn’t capture any special places in our hearts and we didn’t feel inspired to stick around for very long.
