Pesada is a small village and harbor in the southern part of Kefalonia Island, located 12km from the capital of Argostoli. It belongs to the region of Livathos. Pesada is the port of Kefalonia that connects the island to the north coast of the Zakynthos, the port of Agios Nikolaos in Volimes and it offers stunning views to its natural bay with crystalline waters. The beach of Pesada is undeveloped and quiet, ideal for a relaxing day in the deep blue of the Ionian Sea. It is easy to reach from the village, descending the stairs and following the small path to the sea.
Kefalonia is the largest island of the Ionian group, located between Lefkada and Zante. Due to the size of the island Kefalonia never gets too crowded or too noisy, not even in high season and this makes it ideal for family holidays. Famous for the exotic aquamarine color beaches, including Myrtos, Antisamos, Lourdas and Skala, the island has gained popularity as the filming scenery of the Hollywood movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
The Ionian Islands are located on the western side of Greece and are historically and culturally strongly connected to Italy with many evident elements of this. The architecture of the capital towns, including Corfu Town, Zakynthos Town and Argostoli, resembles a lot to the Venetian style as these islands were occupied by the Venetians in the medieval times. Another striking characteristic of Ionian Greece is the lush green nature and the aquamarine beaches with white soft sand. Corfu, Zakynthos, Kefalonia and Lefkada are the most popular holiday islands. The Ionian islands also embrace an amazing music and dance tradition.
