For the absolute best resort for older couples, I’m sticking with The Ionian Sun in Lassi. It’s the Goldilocks of resorts—not too noisy, not too remote, and the beds are exactly the right firmness for a good night’s sleep after a day of intense napping. You can walk to three different tavernas, seven gelato shops, and a pharmacy that sells every pill known to humanity.
One last surprising fact: Kefalonia has the longest underground river in Europe, called Melissani Cave. You can take a boat ride through it, and it’s so beautiful you’ll forget you’re holding a soggy camera. Just don’t drop your glasses in the water—the fish will use them to read tiny fish novels. So pack your sunhat, your sense of humour, and a spare pair of trousers for the buffet. You’ve earned this.
